Bhai Dooj is a major festival of Hinduism which is considered a symbol of love, affection, and mutual respect between brothers and sisters. This festival is celebrated on the second day of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month after Diwali and also marks the end of the five-day Diwali festival. This year, the festival of Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on November 3.
According to the Vedic calendar, the date of Bhai Dooj starts from 8:21 pm on November 2 and ends at 10:05 pm on November 3. According to the Udayatithi, the festival of Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on November 3 only. The auspicious time on this day will be from 1:10 pm to 3:22 pm, when sisters can apply tilak to their brother.
On the day of Bhai Dooj, sisters prepare a tilak thali for their brothers which contains kumkum, sandalwood, rice, sweets, fruits, and flowers. In the auspicious time of the puja, sisters make their brother sit on a stool, apply tilak on his forehead with sandalwood or kumkum and sprinkle rice on it. After this, they feed sweets to the brother and offer dry coconut. In the worship of Bhai Dooj, sisters wish for their brother’s long life, happiness, prosperity and success. After this, the brother gives gifts to his sister, which completes the ritual of this festival.
The religious significance of Bhai Dooj is very ancient. This festival is related to Yamraj and his sister Yamunaji. It is believed that on the day of Kartik Shukla Dwitiya, Yamraj went to his sister Yamunaji’s house, where Yamunaji honored him. Pleased with this, Yamraj gave a boon that the brothers and sisters who will bathe in the Yamuna river on this day and worship Yam will not have to go to Yamlok after death.
Another story is related to Lord Krishna. It is believed that when Lord Krishna returned to Dwarka after killing Narakasura, his sister Subhadra welcomed him and applied tilak on his forehead, wishing him a long life. Since then the tradition of celebrating the festival of Bhai Dooj started.
Bhai Dooj holds special significance not only religiously but also emotionally. This festival symbolizes the unbreakable bond between brother and sister and makes mutual trust, love, and respect even stronger. In modern times, this festival is also an opportunity for brothers and sisters to spend time together and show their love towards each other.
Bhai Dooj is known by different names in different parts of the country, such as in West Bengal it is called “Bhai Phonta”.
