The Bhai Dooj celebrations kick off on November 14, 2023, at 02:36 PM and conclude on November 15, 2023, at 01:47 PM.
The opportune time for the tilak ceremony, a pivotal ritual during Bhai Dooj, are here:

Bhai Dooj stands as a testament to the enduring bond of love and respect shared between siblings, making it one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar.
