Every year the festival of Bhai Dooj is celebrated on the second day of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month. This festival is considered a symbol of brother-sister love. The festival of Bhai Dooj is also known by names like Bhaiya Dooj, Bhai Tika, Yam Dwitiya. This festival is the last day of the five-day festival of lights, which is celebrated two days after Diwali. People eagerly wait for Bhai Dooj. On this day, brother comes to his sister’s house and sister prepares his favorite food and feeds him. On this day, sisters worship their brother for his long life and wish for his well-being. It is believed that by applying Tilak on the day of Bhai Dooj, the brother gets the blessings of long life. However, during this period, some Vaastu rules also have to be taken special care of. In such a situation, let us know in which direction the face should be kept while doing Tilak on Bhai Dooj according to Vastu.
Keep these things in mind while doing Tilak
On the day of Bhai Dooj, Tilak is applied after worshiping the brother, but special attention should be paid to the direction while applying Tilak. According to Vastu Shastra, while doing Tilak, the brother’s face should be in the north or north-west direction. The sister should be facing north-east or east. On the day of Bhai Dooj, the sister should not eat or drink anything before applying Tilak on her brother. After applying Tilak, both can consume food.
Do Tilak like this on Bhai Dooj
On Bhai Dooj, first make a square with flour, then place a wooden platform on this square and make the brother sit on it. Keep in mind that the brother’s face should be towards the east. Then apply Tilak on brother’s forehead and tie Kalava on brother’s hand. After this, light a lamp and perform Aarti for your brother, sweeten his mouth and pray for his long life.

Sister should never disrespect the gift received from brother.
