The festival of Bhai Dooj 2025 comes after the pomp and show of Diwali and is considered to be the last festival of Diwali. Like Rakshabandhan, it is a symbol of the unbreakable love between brother and sister. On this special day, sisters apply tilak on their brother’s forehead, observe a fast for him and tie Kalava. Everything happens to wish the brother’s happiness and prosperity. It is also known as Yama Dwitiya, where Yamraj, the god of death, is also worshipped.

On this day, sisters mark their brothers with Roli and Akshat and then perform their aarti. At the same time, brothers also give gifts to their sisters with great love. These rituals further strengthen the brother-sister relationship.

Bhai Dooj 2025 auspicious time

According to the Panchang, Dwitiya Tithi will start on October 22, 2025 at 08:16 PM and will end on October 23, 2025 at 10:46 PM. Therefore Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on 23rd October. The auspicious time of Tilak will start from 01:13 pm and will continue till 03:28 pm. Performing puja at this time is considered most auspicious.

According to stories…

It is told in ancient stories that Yamraj’s sister Yamuna ji met her brother on this day after a long time. When Yamraj reached Yamuna ji’s house, he made her sit on the seat, applied tilak, performed aarti and fed him food prepared with his own hands. Yamraj was very happy with this respect.

That’s why sisters apply tilak on brother’s forehead.

Yamraj asked Yamuna ji to ask for a boon. Yamuna ji asked for a boon that Yamraj should not harass any sister who applies tilak to her brother and serves him food. Yamraj gave this boon. This tradition has been going on since then. The sisters apply tilak, perform aarti and serve food. Worship with rituals and applying Tilak protects the brother from untimely death.
