| '''Bhai Phota''' or '''Bhai Phonta''' ({{lang-bn|ভাইফোঁটা}}) is a [[Hindu]] festival. The Bhai Phota ritual begins at the moment when [[Amavasya]] ends. Protipod and Dwitiya are the tithes next to Amavasya. Similar to the [[Bhai Dooj]] festival of north India, it takes place during [[Diwali]] on the second or third day of the month of [[Kartik (month)|Kartik]]. The festival is centred on rituals where brothers and sisters honour each other.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bhai Phota 2018, Bhai Phota Dates|url=http://www.diwalifestival.org/bhai-phota.html|website=www.diwalifestival.org|publisher=Society for the Confluence of Festivals in India|accessdate=5 February 2018}}</ref>
