Bhai Dooj: Auspicious muhurat after 1:10 PM, face north or northwest while applying the tilak

Bhai Dooj, celebrated on November 3 this year, involves sisters applying a tilak on their brothers’ foreheads for their protection and prosperity. The tilak ceremony, performed after 1:10 PM in auspicious muhurats, symbolizes a sister’s prayers for her brother’s long life. Avoid black and blue clothing, and brothers should face north or northwest during the tilak.
