Happy Bhai Dooj 2024 Wishes: As the Diwali festivities draw to a close, another cherished celebration takes center stage for Hindu families: Bhai Dooj. This year, the festival falls on Sunday, November 3, marking a special occasion to honor the beautiful bond shared between brothers and sisters. Bhai Dooj, also known as “Yama Dwitiya,” is celebrated on the second day of Shukla Paksha in the Hindu month of Kartik, typically aligning with late October or early November on the Gregorian calendar.
Traditionally, the festival brings families together to commemorate their bonds through a series of rituals, heartfelt wishes, and blessings. While it shares elements with Raksha Bandhan, Bhai Dooj is a distinct occasion with its own history, customs and profound significance.
The origins of Bhai Dooj can be traced back to a legendary tale of two deities: Yama, the god of death, and his sister Yamuna (also known as Yami). According to Hindu mythology, Yamuna deeply wished to see her brother Yama and would invite him to visit. One day, Yama finally arrived, and Yamuna welcomed him with love and reverence. She performed the Aarti, applied a Tilak on his forehead, and offered him sweets as a token of her love and blessings.
