As per Hindu mythology, Lord Chitragupta is not only a close associate of Lord Yama but also keeps detailed track of every human being's karma.
Chitragupta Puja is held on the occasion of Bhai Dooj. The day holds an important place in the Kayastha community. As per Hindu mythology, Lord Chitragupta is not only a close associate of Lord Yama but is also responsible for keeping detailed track of every human's doing (karma). He has an account of who does what and then serves justice upon the person's death. If Yama is the god of death then Chitragupta decides who goes to hell and heaven.
According to the Hindu calendar, Bhai Dooj, also known as Yama Dwitiya, is observed on the second day of the Shukla paksha (waxing moon fortnight) in the month of Kartik. This year Chitragupta Puja will be held on October 26.
