Quick answer: A rashi bracelet made for your brother's moon sign is a Bhai Dooj gift with a reason behind it. Find his rashi in the table below, along with the stones in that bracelet, its ruling planet and the day to give it to him. If you don't know his rashi, use the first letter of his name; there is a table for that too. Each rashi bracelet is ₹695 with free shipping.
Bhai Dooj 2026 falls on Wednesday, 11 November. Delivery takes 7 to 10 days, so order by 31 October to have it in hand for the tilak.
Why a rashi gift works for Bhai Dooj
Bhai Dooj is about a sister's prayer for her brother's long life and wellbeing. A bracelet chosen for his rashi carries that same intention, and unlike sweets or a shirt, it stays on his wrist after the day is over. It also gives you something to say when you tie it on: "This one is for your rashi."

Bhai Dooj falls on a Wednesday this year. It is perfectly fine to give the bracelet on Bhai Dooj itself. If your brother likes to follow tradition, he can keep it in the puja ghar and start wearing it on his rashi's day.
Don't know his rashi? Use the first letter of his name
In Indian tradition, a child's name is often chosen from syllables linked to the moon sign at birth. This is called the naam rashi. If your brother's name was picked this way, its first sound tells you his rashi. If you're not sure, a family elder or his kundli will know.
| Rashi | Name starts with |
|---|---|
| Mesh | Chu, Che, Cho, La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo, A |
| Vrishabh | I, U, E, O, Va, Vi, Vu, Ve, Vo |
| Mithun | Ka, Ki, Ku, Gha, Chha, Ke, Ko, Ha |
| Kark | Hi, Hu, He, Ho, Da, Di, Du, De, Do |
| Singh | Ma, Mi, Mu, Me, Mo, Ta, Ti, Tu, Te (hard T, as in Tamatar) |
| Kanya | To, Pa, Pi, Pu, Sha, Na, Tha, Pe, Po |
| Tula | Ra, Ri, Ru, Re, Ro, Ta, Ti, Tu, Te (soft t, as in Tara) |
| Vrishchik | To, Na, Ni, Nu, Ne, No, Ya, Yi, Yu |
| Dhanu | Ye, Yo, Bha, Bhi, Bhu, Dha, Pha, Bhe |
| Makar | Bho, Ja, Ji, Khi, Khu, Khe, Kho, Ga, Gi |
| Kumbh | Gu, Ge, Go, Sa, Si, Su, Se, So, Da |
| Meen | Di, Du, Tha, Jha, De, Do, Cha, Chi |
A few syllables appear under two rashis (for example "Ta" and "To"), because the hard and soft sounds are written the same way in English. If the name is modern or was not chosen by rashi, go by his date of birth instead (see below).
No rashi, but you know his birthday?
Use numerology. Add the digits of his birth date (only the day, not the month or year). Born on the 14th: 1 + 4 = 5. Born on the 29th: 2 + 9 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2. That single digit is his Mulank, and each number from 1 to 9 has its own numerology bracelet (₹749).
Pair it with what he is working on this year
If you want to add a second, smaller gift, match it to whatever is on his mind:
- Job hunting or a new role: Job Manifestation bracelet or Success bracelet
- Exams: Study bracelet
- Running a business: Business Man bracelet
- Planning to move abroad: Abroad Settlement bracelet
- Stress and poor sleep: Stress and Anxiety bracelet
How to give it on Bhai Dooj
Keep the bracelet on the puja thali along with the roli, rice and diya. After the tilak and aarti, tie it on his right wrist, or the left if he prefers. You can add his name and date of birth at checkout so we energise it in his name before dispatch, at no extra cost.
Frequently asked questions
When is Bhai Dooj in 2026?
Wednesday, 11 November 2026, three days after Diwali. Check your local panchang for the tilak muhurat.
Which hand should a man wear a rashi bracelet on?
Tradition usually suggests the right hand for men, but either wrist is fine. Comfort matters more than the side.
What if my brother's naam rashi and birth rashi are different?
Go with the birth (moon sign) rashi from his kundli if you have it. Naam rashi is a shortcut for when you don't.
Will it fit? I don't know his wrist size.
Our bracelets are on stretch cord and fit most adult wrists. If it doesn't fit, unused items can be returned within 7 days with free return shipping.
Rashi bracelets are spiritual and astrological items based on traditional belief. Experiences differ from person to person, and they are not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
