Bhai Dooj gameBhai Dooj Thali — one of 32 games in Padamz
Brothers and sisters line up, each with an order for their puja thali. Fill every plate with the right things, add the right tilak, and serve the whole family before the little diya on the counter burns out.

Each sibling shows what their thali needs in a speech bubble: kumkum, rice, a diya, a ladoo or jalebi, a gift and more. Puja things glide along the shelves; tap one and it flies to the thali that needs it. A wrong one bounces back and costs three seconds. A complete thali is the tilak moment: sparkles, a bell, and the next sibling steps up.
From level four every order includes a tilak, and the tilaks come in look-alike pairs, so you have to read the shape, not just the colour. Later levels bring look-alike sweets, two shelves running opposite ways and two siblings at once. There are 10 levels, a daily family that is the same for everyone, and an endless mode where every finished thali wins back a little time.
Three things that help
- Read the whole order first, then watch the shelf for those things only.
- Compare the tilak's lines and dots, not just its colour. The pairs differ in one detail.
- With two siblings, finish the shorter order first and free a plate.
Questions
What is Bhai Dooj?
The festival two days after Diwali when a sister puts a tilak on her brother's forehead, prays for his long life and shares sweets, and he gives her a gift.
Is it good for children?
Yes. The items are pictures, the first levels are slow, and a wrong tap only bounces.
Is it free?
Yes, free with no account, in the browser and in the Padamz app.
