Bhai Dooj 2024: According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Bhai Dooj is celebrated on the second day of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month. This festival is also known as Yam Dwitiya. This year this festival will be celebrated on 3 November 2024, Sunday. On this day, the sister applies tilak to her brother. She performs his aarti. Also, she feeds him sweets and prays for his long life. It is believed that the age of any brother who eats food at his sister's house on this day increases.

Bhopal's astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma says that you should keep all the necessary things carefully in the Bhai Dooj puja plate, because the puja is considered incomplete with incomplete ingredients. Let us know about the ingredients to be kept on the plate.

Roli, Akshat and Kalava -
While preparing the thali for Bhai Dooj, you must keep Roli in it for Tilak. If you want, you can also keep sandalwood. Along with this, keep Akshat i.e. rice for happiness and prosperity because without this the Tilak is incomplete. It is also necessary to have a red Kalava in the thali which you tie on your brother's wrist.

Betel nut, silver coin, and coconut -
Keep a betel nut in the tilak plate, it is a symbol of Lord Ganesha. Also keep a silver coin, which maintains wealth and prosperity in the brother's life. Also keep a coconut in it, which removes negativity from life.

Flower garland, sweets, banana -
Keep a flower garland on the tilak plate for your brother to wear after the tilak and also keep some sweets on the plate to sweeten his mouth. You must keep a banana on the plate, because feeding it strengthens the planet Jupiter.
