Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 22 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 22 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:49–16:00. Dwitiya: 07:34 to 08:19 Tue.
Dwitiya ended at 08:19; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 07:34 on Mon 22 Oct to 08:19 on Tue 23 Oct, so only Monday’s aparahna (13:49–16:00) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
