Bhai Dooj is considered a symbol of brother-sister love. This festival is celebrated on the third day of Diwali. But this time this festival is falling on the fourth day, i.e. on 14th November. On this day, sisters offer tilak to their brothers and wish for a long life happiness and prosperity. The worship of Chitraguptaji also has special significance on this day. Along with his worship, KalamDaawat is also worshipped. This is because these things are the weapons of Chitraguptaji. But let us tell you the reason behind this.

Who is ChitraguptaBhagwan?

According to the mythology related to the Hindu religion, Lord Chitraguptaji was born from the mind of Brahma ji. Lord Chitraguptaji is said to be the accountant of the gods and assistant of Yama. He always keeps track of the good and bad deeds of human beings. It is said that a person gets results according to his actions. That is why he is also called the assistant of Yamraj.

On this day, the first aarti of Chitraguptaji is performed. Then KalamDawat is worshipped. This is called a weapon. This gives the blessings of education and also gives the inspiration to do new things. It is also said that on this day sister Yamuna got a boon from Yama.
