Occasion: Brother-Sister Occasion
Falls On: The Fifth Day Of Diwali
Special Sweet: Basundi-poori Or Shrikhand Poori

Dhanatrayodashi, Narakchaturdashi, Amavasya (Laxmi Pujan), Balipratipada and Yamadvitiya (Bhaubeej) are the five days which comprise Diwali, and each day has a peculiar religious significance.

On the last day is Bhaubeej, a traditional brother-sister occasion. Sisters invite their brothers for a meal. They perform an aarti and pray to the Lord for the well-being of their brother, who is their Protector. In return, the brother bestows the sister with gifts. Those who do not have a brother perform a sort of puja to the Moon-God. The Bhau-beej puja is performed in any case. Basundi-poori or shrikhand poori is the special sweet prepared for the occasion.
