Plan your selection

Start with their preference

Choose a material and devotional design your sibling already likes. A bracelet needs a wrist-size check; a mala needs a comfortable bead size and length.

Read the exact contents of a combo. A mala-and-bracelet product is different from two separate items shown together in a photo.

Check premium details

For S925 designs, request purity evidence and the actual dimensions. The Navratna mala uses Sphatik in place of natural diamond.

For dated rituals, confirm your city, family tradition and priest’s requirements. Delivery dates and booking availability must be checked before purchase. Check the calendar for your city

Bhai Dooj buying questions

Does the Navratna mala contain natural diamond?

No. This 108-bead, 8mm Navratna mala uses Sphatik (crystal) in place of natural diamond. Review the full product description before choosing it as a gift.

Should I choose a set or a single premium piece?

Choose a set when both items will be used. Choose a single premium piece when its material and fit match the recipient better. Compare the final checkout price and included items, not just the number of pieces.

Can I request delivery by a particular date?

Contact the team with your pincode and required date before ordering. Delivery depends on the item and destination; the date of an occasion is not a delivery guarantee.

What is included with the product?

The product listing is the source for quantity, dimensions and included items. Styling props, fresh offerings, custom packaging and other accessories are not included unless explicitly listed.

Bhai Dooj is kept on the second lunar day of the bright half of Kartik, two days after the Diwali Lakshmi Puja. In Maharashtra and Goa it is called Bhau Beej. Sisters apply a tilak to their brothers and pray for their well-being.

Brothers return the gesture with a gift. This page covers the traditions and helps you choose a gift your sibling can use beyond the day.

Bhau Beej and Bhai Dooj traditions

The festival is linked with the story of Yama and his sister Yamuna, who welcomed her brother with a tilak and a meal. It is also called Yama Dwitiya. Other regional names include Bhai Phonta in Bengal and Bhai Tika in Nepal.

Sisters usually prepare an aarti thali with tilak, rice and sweets. Brothers give a gift in return. Follow your own family's customs.

Diwali Padwa and Bhau Beej

The day before Bhau Beej is the first day of the bright half of Kartik, called Balipratipada in many regions. It is linked with the tradition of King Bali and, in many homes, with new-year customs.

For Diwali Padwa 2026 or any year, check your local panchang, as the days of Diwali week can differ slightly by region and calendar. Bhau Beej follows the next day.

Choosing Bhau Beej gifts

For bhau beej gifts, start with their preference. Choose a material and devotional design your sibling already likes. A bracelet needs a wrist-size check, and a mala needs a comfortable bead size and length.

Compare the whole gift. Read the exact contents of a combo, because a mala-and-bracelet product is different from two separate items shown together in a photo. Browse Rudraksha Bracelets, Jaap Mala and Spiritual Jewellery.

Checking silver and Navratna details

For S925 designs, request purity evidence and the actual dimensions. The Navratna mala uses Sphatik in place of natural diamond, so read the composition on the product page.

Choose a set when both items will be used. Choose a single piece when its material and fit match the recipient better. Compare the final checkout price and included items, not just the number of pieces.
