Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 13 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 13 Nov: Dwitiya touches aparahna on neither day, and the earlier day is taken.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 16:06. Dwitiya: 16:06 to 12:32 Thu.
Dwitiya ended at 12:32; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 16:06 Wed to 12:32.
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 16:06 on Wed 13 Nov to 12:32 on Thu 14 Nov, between the two days’ aparahna, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 13 Nov. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
