Is anyone heard about Bhai Dooj Festival in India?

Bhai Dooj meaning: is a festival celebrated by India on the last day of the five-day-long Diwali. This is the second day of the bright fortnight. The name ‘Dooj’ means the second day after new moon, the day of festival, and ‘Bhai’ means brother. The celebrations of this day are similar to the festival of Raksha Bandhan (Brother-sister specific fest) and the only marked difference is that on Bhai Dooj, sisters shop Bhai dooj gifts for brothers. On this day, sisters pray for a long and happy life for their brothers, by performing the Tika ceremony.

On the day, sisters invite their brothers for a sumptuous meal often including their favorite dishes/sweets. The whole ceremony signifies the duty of a brother to protect his sister, as well as a sister's blessings for her brother.

This festival signifies the special bond of siblings!
