The same for every city, on the Bhai Dooj 1918 page:
Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 5 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 5 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:43–14:47. Dwitiya: 02:19 to 04:24 Wed.
Dwitiya ended at 04:24; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 02:19 on Tue 5 Nov to 04:24 on Wed 6 Nov, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (12:43–14:47) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
