Bhai Dooj is on 23rd October, 2025, and you want to make your brother’s day extra special, but organising the perfect Bhai Dooj thali feels overwhelming. On top of that, juggling between work and home leaves little time for running around local markets. 

Instead of stressing, you can set up an impressive thali with just a few clicks, thanks to Milkbasket. This blog gives you step-by-step guidance to create a meaningful, traditional, and beautifully arranged Bhai dooj thali using everyday groceries from Milkbasket.

Why Timely and Thoughtful Bhai Dooj Thali Matters

Bhai Dooj celebrates the treasured bond between brother and sister. Setting up the perfect Bhai dooj thali is not just about tradition; it’s about showing your love and blessings in the most heartfelt way. The right setup can turn a simple ceremony into a memory your brother cherishes all year. 

Yet, the challenge is collecting every ingredient, from milk for sweets to fresh flowers and puja essentials, at the right moment.

Here’s where Milkbasket’s online milk delivery and grocery shopping delivery come to your rescue. You can buy groceries online till midnight and have your order silently delivered by 7 AM. Your festival prep goes from stressful to delightfully simple.

What to Include in Your Bhai Dooj Thali

A traditional Bhai Dooj thali includes specific items believed to bring luck and happiness. Through online food shopping with Milkbasket, you can gather all these essentials in one go:

• Roli and Chandan: For applying the tilak on your brother’s forehead.
• Akshat (unbroken rice grains): Symbolises prosperity and is vital for the ritual.
• Kalawa (sacred red thread): Tied on the wrist for protection.
• Earthern Diya (lamp): To perform aarti and bring light to the ceremony.
• Fresh flowers: Show purity and devotion, easily available through Milkbasket’s floral range.
• Betel nut and silver coin: For auspiciousness and prosperity.
• Dry coconut and sweets: Milkbasket offers a huge variety—add your brother’s favourites like kaju katli or gulab jamun.
• Bananas and other seasonal fruits: Feeding bananas is thought to strengthen Jupiter’s influence.
• Sweets (Mithai) and snacks: Choose classic Indian sweets or bake something fresh with Milkbasket’s dairy and grocery products.

Add some creative touches, mirror-work thalis, vibrant marigolds, or even a personal note. You can order each item from Milkbasket to ensure freshness and authenticity.

Setting Up the Bhai Dooj Thali

Step 1: Place all your puja essentials—roli, chandan, akshat, diya, and kalawa- on one side of the thali.

Step 2: Arrange fruits, mithai, coconut, and dry fruits artistically on the opposite side. Use petals and leaves for colour. If you are confused about which sweets to keep in the thali, you can read our blog on sweets to eat on Bhai Dooj.

Step 3: Light the diya, set the silver coin and betel nut in the centre, and keep a flower garland ready for your brother.
