Bhai Dooj, observed on the second lunar day of Kartik’s Shukla Paksha, celebrates the cherished connection between brothers and sisters. After Diwali, sisters perform a tilakritual, praying for their brothers’ well-being, while brothers offer them presents in return. In 2025, Bhai Dooj is on October 23, with precise muhurat timings changes in India, the US, UK, and Canada.
