Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 24 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 24 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 20:48.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:48–15:58. Dwitiya: 20:48 Fri to 19:40.
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 20:48 on Fri 23 Oct to 19:40 on Sat 24 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:48–15:58) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
