Sisters apply a ceremonial tilak on their brothers’ foreheads and pray for their long life, while brothers pledge to protect and support their sisters. The day reflects the deep familial values and cultural traditions of India.
In Punjab, as in many parts of India, families come together to exchange gifts, sweets, and blessings. The festival is seen as a moment to cherish love, mutual respect, and togetherness.
