Bhai Dooj is believed to have originated very long ago and there is an interesting story of a young boy and his determination to go visit his sister despite the thick forests. Legend also has it, that Lord Krishna visited his sister Subhadra, after slaying Narkasur. She gave him a warm welcome with sweets and flowers. She also affectionately applied tilak on Krishna's forehead. Since then, the custom of celebrating Bhai Dooj started. But it is a ritual that sisters come to the brother`s house with the teekha on Bhai Dooj day.
