Bhai Dooj is a Hindu festival representing the eternal love between siblings. Typically, on this day, sisters seek blessings from God for their brothers’ long lives, health, and prosperity. In return, brothers give gifts to their beloved sisters. Namely, this festival comes on the final day of the five-day-long Diwali celebration. This year, Bhai Dooj is celebrated on Tuesday, November 10th in India.

Guru Nanak Jayanti

Guru Nanak Jayanti is a religious festival commemorating the birth of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus.
