News Topical, Digital Desk : Bhai Dooj, also known as Yama Dwitiya, is celebrated with great pomp every year. This festival symbolizes the unbreakable love between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters apply a tilak (a mark of a mark) to their brothers' foreheads, wishing them long life and happiness and prosperity. However, in Hinduism, it is advised to avoid the Bhadra period when undertaking any auspicious work, as according to religious beliefs, work done during Bhadra does not yield auspicious results.
For this reason, on Bhai Dooj, sisters are often worried that the auspicious time for Tilak may fall during Bhadra period, so let us know here whether Bhadra will cast its shadow on Bhai Dooj (Bhai Dooj 2025) this time or not?
Auspicious time of Bhai Dooj (Bhai Dooj 2025 Date and Time)
According to the Vedic calendar, this year, the Dwitiya Tithi will begin on October 22, 2025, at 8:16 pm. It will end on October 23, 2025, at 10:46 pm. Consequently, Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on October 23. The auspicious time for applying Tilak on this day is from 1:13 pm to 3:28 pm. During this time, sisters can apply Tilak to their brothers.
Will Bhadra's shadow remain or not?
According to astrological calculations, this year, on October 23, 2025, the day of Bhai Dooj, Bhadra Kaal will not be present. This means that the auspicious time for applying Tilak is completely free from the influence of Bhadra. Therefore, sisters can apply Tilak to their brothers without any hassle.
Why is it important to avoid Bhadra?
Bhadra is considered an inauspicious period in the Hindu calendar. Bhadra is the sister of Lord Shanidev. She is considered fierce, so any auspicious ceremony, such as tilak (a sacred thread ceremony), house warming ceremony, or marriage, is prohibited during Bhadra. The tilak ceremony on Bhai Dooj is considered a protective shield and a blessing for long life, so it is important to ensure this ritual is not performed during any inauspicious period.
