Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 28 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 28 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 22:06.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:45–14:52. Dwitiya: 22:06 Fri to 20:18.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 22:06 on Fri 27 Oct to 20:18 on Sat 28 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (12:45–14:52) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
