Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday greeted the nation on the occasion of Bhai Dooj, the festival that symbolises the special bond between brothers and sisters.

“On the auspicious occasion of Bhai Dooj, warm wishes to the people of the nation,” tweeted Modi.

On the day, sisters pray for the long lives of their brothers by putting ‘teeka’ (red vermillion) on their brothers’ foreheads.

The brothers are supposed to touch their sisters’ feet and seek their blessings and also offer them gifts.

Bhaiya Dooj is also known as Bhau Beej and Bhathru Dwithiya.
