The bond is not only
limited to the silken thread but has its vicinity to enrich the love and care
that brothers have for their sisters and sisters have for their brothers. The
celebration of this day are similar to that of another day celebrating brother sister
relation, Rakshabandhan. On this day, sisters pray for their brothers to have
long and prosperous lives by performing the Tilak ceremony, and sisters give
gifts to their brothers. This day is celebrated among Hinduism on the last day
of the five day long Diwali festival, also known as Bhau-Beej,Bhai Tika and
bhai pota.
