Wednesday, November 11, 2026. New Delhi reference timings with practical festival context and direct links to the other 2026 muhurat pages.
Bhai Dooj is the post-Diwali sibling festival known regionally as Bhau Beej, Bhai Phota, Bhai Tika, Bhai Bij and Yama Dwitiya. Sisters commonly apply tilak and pray for their brothers’ well-being, while families exchange gifts and share a meal.
For New Delhi in 2026, the recommended Tilak ceremony falls in Aparahna on Wednesday, November 11. Practices vary by region: the ritual sequence, foods, gifts and names differ, but the central theme is affection, protection and sibling bonds.
Use the place where the ritual will occur, especially for sunset-, moonrise- and Pradosh-based observances.
The highlighted window is tied to the festival’s traditional rule: not merely a generic auspicious hour.
Temple, sampradaya, regional and household traditions can legitimately emphasize different steps or secondary windows.

Hindu observance rules can depend on local sunrise, sunset, moonrise and tithi boundaries. Another city can therefore have a different clock time and occasionally a different civil date.
No. Use these timings as a reference and consult a Panchang calculated for the city where the puja, fast or ritual will actually be observed.
