Happy Bhai Dooj 2025: Bhai Dooj, also known as Bhaiya Dooj, Bhai Tika, or Bhau Beej in different regions of India, is a cherished Hindu festival celebrating the special bond between brothers and sisters. According to the Hindu calendar, Bhai Dooj falls on the Dwitiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik. It is the final festival of the five-day Diwali celebration and holds great emotional and cultural value. This year, Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on Thursday, October 23.
Bhai Dooj Shubh Muhurat: On this day, sisters perform aarti for their brothers, apply tilak on their foreheads, and offer sweets. In return, brothers give gifts and promise to protect their sisters throughout life. The most auspicious window for the tilak ceremony is during the Aparahna (afternoon) period, which falls between 1:13 PM and 3:28 PM on October 23.
Bhai Dooj strengthens the bond of love, trust, and care between siblings. In today's digital age, even if brothers and sisters live far apart, video calls, virtual tilaks, and online gifts help keep the tradition alive. You can also celebrate the special bond by sending wishes, sharing quotes and images, and updating your Facebook and WhatsApp status to mark the occasion.
