The other names of Bhai Dooj are Bhaiya Dooj, Bhai Dooj, Bhau-Beej, and Bhai Phota in different regions of India. Bhai Dooj is an exclusive kind of celebration that heralds the loving relationship between a brother and sister. The prefix Bhai means brother and Dooj means the second day of the lunar month during the waxing phase. The essence of this festival includes the sisters praying for the welfare and happiness of their brothers and the brothers assuring their concern, care and protection for their sisters. When is Bhai Dooj celebrated? Bhai Dooj is celebrated as a part of the five days long Diwali festival. This event falls two days after Diwali and marks the conclusion of the Diwali celebrations. Bhai Dooj Shubh Muhurat This year, Bhai Dooj will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 29, 2019. The Shubh Mururat for Bhai Dooj is from 01:11 pm and 13:25 pm with a duration of 02 hours and 14 minutes. Legends connected with Bhai Dooj There are two highly interesting mythological stories that tell us the origin of Bhai Dooj. The first one is connected to Lord Krishna. It is said Shubadra, the sister of Lord Krishna invited Krishna in a loving and grand manner after he had defeated the demon Narakasur. She applied tilak in the forehead of Krishna as a mark of celebrating his victory, garlanded him and performed arati. Krishna was highly pleased with his sister’s love and hence he blessed her with several boons. The second story is connected to Yama, the god of death who visited his sister Yamuna. Since Yama met his sister on the second day (Dwitiya) of the waxing phase of lunar month in the month of Kartika, the festival is also called as Yamadvitiya. Bhai Dooj puja procedure Sisters perform this puja seeking the welfare of their brother. Brothers visit their sisters on this day. Sisters invite them in a ritualistic way and apply tilak on their foreheads. Applying tilak and performing arati must be done during the right Muhurat to get the maximum benefits of the Bhai Dooj puja. Sisters also treat their brothers with a lot of sweets and delicious dishes. While visiting their sisters, brothers do carry a lot of gifts for their sisters and give their assurance to protect them and care for them during all times. In essence and spirit, the theme of Bhai Dooj resembles that of Raksha Bandhan. Regional variations in Bhai Dooj celebrations In Bengal, Bhai Dooj is called as Bhai Phota and is celebrated by sisters by applying tilak to their brothers’ foreheads. They chant a special mantra during the ritual. In Haryana, the same ritual of tilak is performed and the sisters offer a dry coconut to their brothers tied with Kalawa thread during the arati. Final word Celebrating the affectionate bond between brother and sister, Bhai Dooj is a very sacred and momentous event for the Hindus. Hence this event is enthusiastically awaited by sisters and brothers in order to refresh and rejoice their relationship.

Call it irony but India’s famous Hindu festival of love '<keyword id="469225" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhau-Beej">Bhau Beej</keyword>' also called '<keyword id="59958" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhai-Dooj">Bhai Dooj</keyword>' has surprizingly coincided with Friday the 13th this year, what the West considers to be the most unlucky day of the year! 
 
Also known as Black Friday, it is more than just a date. It occurs when the 13th day of the month in the Gregorian (Christian) calendar falls on a Friday. The superstition around this day is thought to have come about during the middle ages. Some historians have claimed it was the day on which Eve bit the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. Others say Jesus was crucified on a Friday and ever since the day has been associated with general ill omen. Most years have just one or two Friday the 13ths. However interestingly, this year has seen three in total in the months of February, March and the last being today. 
 Today’s <keyword id="70509" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Friday-the-13th">Friday the 13th</keyword> is also the fifth and last day of festival of lights – <keyword id="188" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Diwali">Diwali</keyword> - which falls on a new moon night and is celebrated by Hindus across the world as ‘Bhai Dooj’. The occasion sees sisters ceremonize their love by putting an auspicious tilak or a vermilion mark on the forehead of their brothers and perform an aarti by showing him the light of the holy flame as a mark of love and protection from evil forces. 
 
It is believed that on this day, Lord Krishna went to his sister Subhadra after slaying the Narakasura demon, who welcomed him with a holy lamp, flowers and sweets and put the holy protective spot on his forehead. Yet another belief behind the origin of Bhai Dooj is that when Mahavir, the founder of Jainism, attained moksha, his brother King Nandivardhan was distressed because he missed him and was comforted by his sister Sudarshana. Since then, women have been revered during Bhai Dooj as it is called in Northern India, Bhai Pota in West Bengal, Bhai Tika in Nepal. 
 
Both the significant events are rooted in historical beliefs, the stark difference being while one is a joyous day for brothers and sisters in one part of the world, it’s a haunted day where everything is meant to go wrong for the other. Notably, yhe next February, March and November Friday the 13th year will occur 11 years later in 2026.

Friday the 13th! A joyous 'Bhai Dooj' for India, but a 'haunted' day for the West

Govardhan Puja is an important event celebrated on the fourth day of the five day long Diwali festival. In 2019, Govardhan Puja falls on Monday, October 28. The line of events during the Diwali festival include Dhanteras, Chhoti Diwali, Diwali, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj starting from Friday, October 25, 2019 and concluding on Tuesday, October 29, 2019. Govardhan Puja timing Govardhan Puja Muhurat on Monday, October 28, 2019 is from 3:36 pm to 5:51 pm with a duration of 2 hours 14 minutes. Origin of Govardhan Puja Govardhan Puja has its roots in the age of Dwapar during Krishnavatar. When little Krishna grew up in the village of Gokul, he initiated Govardhan Puja in order to pay tribute to the Govardhan hill, the small hillock of the village that provided nourishment to the cows of the village and some essentials for the village households. Govardhan Puja story During those days, the people in the village of Gokul performed elaborate pujas to please Indra, the king of gods. Krishna advised the villagers to worship the Govardhan hill instead of Indra as the hill was highly supporting their lives and provided nourishment to the cows. Seeing the villagers neglect him and worship the Govardhan hill, Indra got angry and showered torrential rains on the village of Gokul. Krishna saves the village The village folks and cattle could not bear the torrential downfall. In order to save them, Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill and held it like an umbrella over all of them for a period of seven days. Indra realized he will never be able to win Krishna who was verily the avatar of Lord Vishnu finally got humbled and spared the village. Annakoot puja The villagers prepared elaborate foods consisting of about 56 items called as Chappan Bhog and offered to little Krishna who neither ate nor slept over the seven days while holding the hill to protect the villagers and cattle. This event gave rise to the ritual known as Annakoot puja which is performed on the day of Govardhan puja. People prepare a lot of dishes and worship Krishna on this day. Govardhan Puja procedure Perform Govardhan puja during the right Muhurat given above. Clean the household and install a picture of Govardhan hill. You can also make the image of Govardhan hill in clay or cow dung. Offer sugarcane, peda, badasha and others to the Govardhan hill to start the puja. Light the lamp and offer roli and tilak. Leave a silver coin in the plate. Let someone in the household read the story of Ma Lakshmi. Others must listen to the story with rapt attention. At the end of the story reading, the silver coin must be offered along with sweets and fruits to the person who read the story. Prayers are offered to the Govardhan hill and the offering done to Lord Krishna during the puja consists of 56 varieties of dishes specially prepared for the puja. To conclude the puja, say your prayers and do namaskar in front of the altar. Share the Prasad with the family members and invitees.

Bhai Dooj is also observed as a holiday in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Rajasthan. Sardar Vallabbhai Patel Jayanti is also observed as a bank holiday in the state of Gujarat. The number of public holidays vary from month to month depending on the events and festivals we will come across. Some months bring us a bounty of holidays as a surprise. October 2019 is one such month when you have a plenty of days to take a break from the tiring monotony and stay at home if you are an employed person. Nevertheless, the banks are also going to be closed on public holidays and some Saturdays. October 2019 calendar has a lot of festivals and occasions besides some holiday weekends. As per the government declaration, the public and private banks will remain closed on second and fourth Saturdays on all months. So, you might find yourself in a hitch if you do not plan your financial activities properly. State and national holidays State holidays can differ between states. However, national holidays will remain the same across the country. Your activity calendar (especially the financial one) must take in the state holidays, national holidays and the second and fourth Saturdays so that your business, family or personal lives are not disturbed due to a poor planning. October 2019 <keyword id="1004673" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bank-holidays">bank holidays</keyword> In October, we will come across eight holidays in general across the country besides the state holidays that might add up to the list. During the very start of the month, Gandhi Jayanti will see the banks shut on Wednesday, October 2, 2019. The holidays that will follow include Sunday on October 6, 2019, and Dussehra on Tuesday, October 8, 2019. The second Saturday on October 12, 2019 will see the banks closed once again. The next day will be a Sunday on October 13, 2019. So, the banks will be closed for two consecutive days. October 20, 2019 will be a Sunday and then you have the fourth Saturday and Sunday on October 26, 2019 and October 27, 2019. These two days will see the banks closed once again for two days continuously. While some people might not like this idea, Diwali falls on a Sunday this year on October 27, 2019. Hence Diwali holiday merges with the weekend holiday thereby striking off one extra holiday from the October month’s holiday holidays list. Plan well and avoid inconveniences So, it all means you must plan your finances well. If you are a business, pool in the receipts and payments you carry out through the banks on the bank working days so that you are not left with some disappointments suddenly due to absent mindedness. The banks and ATMs might be crowded due to the festival season and Diwali this time. Withdraw cash in advance to celebrate the festivals to your heart’s content. So, be sharp, catch up with the list of bank holidays and avoid inconveniences by planning your financial activities meticulously.
