Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 22 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 22 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 19:36.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:14–15:34. Dwitiya: 19:36 Wed to 18:54.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Aparahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Dwitiya runs from 19:36 on Wed 21 Oct to 18:54 on Thu 22 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (13:14–15:34) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
