Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 22 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 22 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:23–15:42. Dwitiya: 09:04 to 09:49 Tue.
Dwitiya ended at 09:49; 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 09:04 on Mon 22 Oct to 09:49 on Tue 23 Oct, so only Monday’s aparahna (13:23–15:42) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

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.
