The festival of Bhai Dooj holds significance in Hinduism and is one of the symbols of love and affection between brothers and sisters. This festival is considered to be dedicated to the brothers and sisters like that of Raksha Bandhan, in which sisters want their brothers to live longer, happy, prosperous life and safe. Sisters on this day apply tilak on their brothers’ foreheads, and give them sweets with this. Likewise, in return, the brother on his side also pays regards to this relation by sending some sort of gifts towards his sister. The celebration of Bhai Dooj marks the last date of five-day long celebrations of Diwali. So with Bhai Dooj the Diwali celebrations also come to end.
This year, the Bhai Dooj festival will be observed on a Sunday, 3rd November. In the Hindu Vedic calendar, this day is marked as Bhai Dooj with the second day of Kartik month Shukla Paksha. Dwitiya Tithi will start on 2 November at 8:21 pm and conclude at 10:05 pm on 3 November. According to Udaya Tithi, Bhai Dooj festival will be on 3 November. On this day, the sacred time is from 1:10 pm to 3:22 pm when sisters can apply tilak to their brothers.
On Bhai Dooj, sisters especially prepare to put tilak on their brothers. There is till, rice, flowers, sweets, and dry coconut kept in the tilak plate. For putting the tilak, he sits his brother on the stool and puts a red handkerchief on the top of his head, puts tilak on his forehead by kumkum or sandalwood, puts a little rice all over the tilak and then gives him sweets. After this, a brother’s aarti is performed, followed by wishing of success in life and long life.
The importance of Bhai Dooj is also told in the scriptures through various stories. According to a legend, Yamraj went to his sister Yamunaji’s house on Kartik Shukla Dwitiya Tithi. Yamunaji welcomed her brother with respect, pleased with which Yamraj gave a boon that the brother and sister who will bathe in Yamunaji and worship Yamraj on this day, will not have to go to Yamlok after death.
According to one of the legends, when Lord Krishna returned to Dwarka after killing the demon Narakasura, Subhadra welcomed him with flowers, sweets, and a lit lamp. This day Subhadra put a tilak on the forehead of Lord Krishna and wished him a long life. So, Bhai Dooj festival came into existence.
Bhai Dooj festival is the sign of love, trust, and harmony between a brother and sister. The relationship between brother and sister is made stronger by celebrating the festival with different names throughout the country. Brothers and sisters express their feelings on this day, and that sacred relationship is exchanged in the society.
