Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 4 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 4 Nov: Dwitiya touches aparahna on neither day, and the earlier day is taken.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 15:39. Dwitiya: 15:39 to 13:10 Wed.
Dwitiya ended at 13:10; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 15:39 Tue to 13:10.
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 15:39 on Tue 4 Nov to 13:10 on Wed 5 Nov, between the two days’ aparahna, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Tue 4 Nov. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
