What Bhai Dooj marks — and why it resonates across Bihar
Bhai Dooj falls two days after Diwali and is one of the most widely observed festivals in the Hindu calendar. Sisters apply a tilak on their brothers' foreheads and pray for their long life; brothers offer gifts in return — a ritual that cuts across caste, region and community in Bihar, one of India's most festival-conscious states. For a Chief Minister who leads a state of over 120 million people, the greeting is both a cultural acknowledgement and a moment of public connection.
