Bhai Dooj 2022: Auspicious time
This year the second day of Kartik Shukla Paksha is falling on two dates - 26 and 27 October. This year the Mahotsav will start at 02:43 PM on 26th October (Wednesday) and will go on till 12:45 PM on Thursday.
On this day sisters apply tika on the forehead of their brothers and wish them a long and happy life. Both the siblings exchange gifts and sweets on the occasion.
According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that Goddess Yamuna fed her brother Yamraj on Kartik Dwitiya at their home. Since then this day is also known as Yama Dwitiya.
Raksha Bandhan and Bhai Dooj are quite similar to an extent, however, on Bhai Dooj sisters do not tie thread or rakhi on the wrists of their brothers like they do on Raksha Bandhan.
