What is Bhai Phota
On the bright Dwitiya of Kartik, sisters apply a tika on their brothers' foreheads and pray for their long life, and brothers give gifts. Bengal calls it Bhai Phota; north India calls it Bhai Dooj. (Source: Wikipedia, Bhai Dooj)
- Fix the visit in advance so the tika falls within the tika window.
