Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 27 Oct in Baoding?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 27 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 15:22. Dwitiya: 15:22 to 15:34 Tue.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:06–15:15. Dwitiya: 15:22 Mon to 15:34.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 15:22 on Mon 26 Oct to 15:34 on Tue 27 Oct, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:06–15:15) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
