Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday greeted the nation on the occasion of Bhai Dooj.
Bhai Dooj, the festival of symbol of brother-sister love is being celebrated all over the country today.
On this day, sisters pray for their brothers to have long and happy lives by performing Tika ceremony and brothers offer gifts to their sisters.
Bhaiya Dooj is also known as Bhau Beej and Bhathru Dwithiya.
