On Bhai Dooj sisters apply a tilak on their brothers’ foreheads and wish them long life, and brothers give gifts. It is also called Yama Dwitiya.
Tithi: Kartika Shukla Dwitiya. The tilak is applied around midday, before the late afternoon.
When a tithi is extended or skipped, the festival can fall on the same day as Govardhan Puja or a day later.
