Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 8 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 8 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 22:29.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:44–14:47. Dwitiya: 22:29 Sat to 23:40.
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 22:29 on Sat 7 Nov to 23:40 on Sun 8 Nov, so only Sunday’s aparahna (12:44–14:47) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
