Just like Raksha Bandhan, Bhai Dooj also carries deep emotional and traditional value in Indian families. This year, the festival becomes even more special because of its perfect Shubh Muhurat from 1:13PM to 3:28PM, the best time for Tilak and Aarti.
Why Bhai Dooj is Celebrated
According to Hindu mythology, Bhai Dooj is linked to the story of Yamraj and his sister Yamuna. It is believed that on this day, Yamuna invited her brother for a meal and applied a sacred tilak on his forehead, praying for his long life and happiness.
Touched by her affection, Yamraj blessed that any brother who receives tilak from his sister on this day would live a long and prosperous life. Since then, this festival is celebrated across India with full joy and warmth.
Shubh Muhurat and Rituals
Timing matters a lot during Bhai Dooj. This year’s Shubh Muhurat starts at 1:13PM and goes on till 3:28PM, making it the most auspicious period to perform tilak and Aarti.
During this time, sisters prepare thalis with roli, rice, sweets, diya, and gifts. Brothers visit their sisters, accept the tilak, and in return, shower them with gifts and promises of protection.
The air fills with laughter, love, and the aroma of home-cooked delicacies like puri, halwa, and kheer.
Modern Touch with Traditional Feel
While earlier Bhai Dooj used to be a simple family ritual, now it’s celebrated with a modern twist. Many sisters who live far away perform the tilak virtually over video calls or send specially curated Bhai Dooj hampers.
Yet, the emotion remains the same that pure, unbreakable bond between a brother and sister. Whether it’s a small home in a village or a flat in a big city, the warmth of Bhai Dooj remains unmatched.
