What is kept
The last of the five days of Diwali, for brothers and sisters. The sister puts a tilak on her brother's forehead, does his aarti, prays for him and feeds him, and the brother gives her a gift. The story is of Yamraj visiting his sister Yamuna, which is why it is also called Yama Dwitiya. It is Bhau Beej in Maharashtra and Bhai Phonta in Bengal.
