Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 22 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 22 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:41. Dwitiya: 17:41 to 20:10 Thu.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:49–16:59. Dwitiya: 17:41 Wed to 20:10.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). 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 17:41 on Wed 21 Oct to 20:10 on Thu 22 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (14:49–16:59) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
