Shubh Muhurat’s duration for Bhai Dooj rituals on October 26-27

Bhai Dooj, also known as Yama Dwitiya, Bhau Beej, Bhatra Dwitiya, Bhai Dwitiya, and Bhathru Dwitiya, is now taking place. It respects the ties that bind siblings. On this day, sisters execute the tika ceremony in order to wish their brothers a long and happy life, and brothers spoil their sisters by giving them gifts and their favourite things. 

The celebration occurs a day after Govardhan Puja and two days after Diwali or Deepavali. It is a yearly event that is observed on the second day of Shukla Paksha in the Kartik month.

This year’s Surya Grahan, or partial solar eclipse, took place on October 25, one day after Diwali. This may have caused the festivals to be postponed by one day. As a result, Bhai Dooj will be observed on October 26 and Govardhan Puja on October 26 and 27. The Dwitiya Tithi will start on October 26 at 2:43 pm and last until 12:45 pm on October 27, according to Drik Panchang.

The auspicious time of Bhai Dooj on October 26 will last for 2 hours and 17 minutes, starting at 1:32 PM and ending at 3:49 PM, while on October 27, it will last for 1 hour and 42 minutes, starting at 11:07 AM and ending at 12:46 PM.
