Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 11 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 11 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 22:36.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:44–14:45. Dwitiya: 22:36 Fri to 18:49.
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 22:36 on Fri 10 Nov to 18:49 on Sat 11 Nov, so only Saturday’s aparahna (12:44–14:45) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
