Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 2 Nov in Codcod?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 2 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 19:21.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:41–15:02. Dwitiya: 19:21 Sat to 20:15.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 19:21 on Sat 1 Nov to 20:15 on Sun 2 Nov, so only Sunday’s aparahna (12:41–15:02) falls within it. 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.
