Brothers and sisters relationships are tied by one of the strongest bonds in humanity. The relationship between them is totally unique and special in both its foundations and dynamics. Right from childhood they have spent time and grown up together which makes them know each other more than anyone else could, and they also become sympathetic to each other’s’ needs and preferences. They are often protective of each other and their bond grows with the years and doesn’t diminish with time even after marriages and having separate families. Bhai Dooj honors this wonderful relationship and also acts as a catalyst to strengthen the bonds between the brothers and sisters.
