Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 2 Nov in Davinópolis?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 2 Nov: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 15:36. Dwitiya: 15:36 to 13:42 Thu.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:42; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 15:36 Wed to 13:42.
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 15:36 on Wed 1 Nov to 13:42 on Thu 2 Nov, so it touches only Thursday’s aparahna (13:07–15:34). 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.
