Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 12 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 12 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:20–15:36. Dwitiya: 09:10 to 05:36 Sun.
Dwitiya ended at 05:36; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 09:10 on Sat 12 Nov to 05:36 on Sun 13 Nov, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:20–15:36) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
