Bhai Dooj Puja Vidhi
Mythological belief is that on this day Yama had gone to his sister Yamuna's house for food. In such a situation, brothers should go to their sister's in-laws house. Whereas unmarried girls should apply tilak to their brothers at home. On the day of Bhai Dooj, first of all, one must meditate and worship Lord Ganesha. To do the brother's Tilak, first, prepare a plate, keep Roli, Akshat, and Gola in it, then after applying the Tilak, give the Gola to your brother. Then serve your brother his favorite food. After that, the brother should take blessings from his sister and give her some gifts.
