Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 18 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 18 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:51–15:03. Dwitiya: 10:30 to 12:08 Thu.
Dwitiya ended at 12:08; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 10:30 Wed to 12:08.
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 10:30 on Wed 18 Oct to 12:08 on Thu 19 Oct, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (12:51–15:03) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
