Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 16 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 16 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 21:27.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:42–14:41. Dwitiya: 21:27 Thu to 21:03.
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 21:27 on Thu 15 Nov to 21:03 on Fri 16 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (12:42–14:41) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
