Bhai Dooj is a Hindu festival that celebrates the loving relationship between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on the fifth day of Diwali (the new moon day or Bhai Dooj day), which usually falls two days after Diwali. It is a day for brothers to visit their sisters and for sisters to bless their brothers with long life, prosperity, and happiness. Bhai Dooj is a beautiful celebration of the unbreakable bond between brothers and sisters. It's a day of sharing love, protecting each other, and thanking each other for all the support throughout life. Whether you celebrate it in a traditional manner or with modern touches, the festival brings families closer and strengthens relationships.
Varanasi is known for its spiritual significance, and during festivals like Bhai Dooj, it comes alive with rituals and prayers.
Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the most beautiful experiences, and you can celebrate the festival with your sibling at the ghats, offering prayers for prosperity and good health.
Many families gather by the river to mark the festival and exchange blessings.
Shopping for traditional souvenirs like brassware, religious artifacts, and sweets is also a part of the experience.
