Shubh Muhurat for Bhai Dooj 2022
This year, the second day of Kartik Shukla Paksha falls on both October 26 and October 27. This year, the festival will start at 02:43 PM on Wednesday, October 26, and run through 12:45 PM on Thursday.
On this day, sisters apply “Tika” to their brothers’ foreheads in a gesture of prayer for a long and prosperous life. Occasionally, gifts and treats are exchanged between brothers and sisters.
According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Yamuna is thought to have nourished her brother Yamraj on Kartik Dwitiya at her residence. As a result, this day is now called Yama Dwitiya. Raksha Bandhan and Bhai Dooj are somewhat comparable celebrations; however, unlike Raksha Bandhan, sisters do not tie a thread or Rakhi around their brothers’ wrists on Bhai Dooj.
