Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 29 Oct in Codcod?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 29 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 15:42. Dwitiya: 15:42 to 16:03 Sun.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:41–15:02. Dwitiya: 15:42 Sat to 16:03.
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 15:42 on Sat 28 Oct to 16:03 on Sun 29 Oct, 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

- Smarta
