Bhai Dooj is also a day of celebrations and get-togethers. The day has various stories and myths attached to it. According to a popular belief. Yamraj, the God of Death visited Yami on this day. She welcomed him home, offered sweets and applied tilak on his forehead. Moved by her love and compassion, Yamraj gave her a gift as a symbol of his love. Thereafter he said that brother who will receive a tilak from his sister need not be afraid of death. Another story says that Lord Krishna's sister Subhadra welcomed him with an aarti, tilak and flowers after he killed the demon king Narakasur. We wish everyone celebrating the day a very Happy Bhai Dooj!
