Bhai Dooj is an important Hindu festival where sisters display their love for their brothers. Holi Bhai Dooj, although quite popular in some regions, is a lesser known festival. Famous treatise on Hindu festivals such as Dharma Sindhu, Nirnaya Sindhu and Vratraj also has no mention of Holi Bhai Dooj. The festival of Holi Bha Duj should be observed when Dwitiya Tithi prevails. Hence depending on Holika Dahan day, it might fall either next day or on the second day after Rangawali Holi.
