Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 23 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 23 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 23:10.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:23–15:42. Dwitiya: 23:10 Sat to 19:41.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 23:10 on Sat 22 Oct to 19:41 on Sun 23 Oct, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:23–15:42) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
