Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 22 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 22 Oct: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 15:53. Dwitiya: 15:53 to 13:51 Sat.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:51; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 15:53 Fri to 13:51.
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 15:53 on Fri 21 Oct to 13:51 on Sat 22 Oct, so it touches only Saturday’s aparahna (13:23–15:42). No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
