Lord Vishnu: Bali Maharaj pleased Lord Vamadeva who asked Bali to ask for any wish. Bali wanted Lord Vishnu to be on every door at Patalaloka. Lord Vishnu became the ombudsman of Bali. This news was carried to Goddess Lakshmi by Narad and she went hyper and she decided to play a trick to bring her husband back. She reached at Bali’s place as a beggar seeking help and said that as she doesn’t have a brother she would like to have one. Bali accepted her as a sister and said that he would give her anything and this is when she asked for her husband back.

Lord Mahavir: Legends say that when Mahavir was attaining Nirvana, his brother Nandivardhan was anxious and distressed because he was missing him. Sudarshana, his sister then comforted him and since then sisters have been valued in bhai dooj.
