Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 28 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 28 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:39. Dwitiya: 13:12 to 13:33 Sun.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:33; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 13:12 Sat to 13:33.
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 began at 13:12 on Sat 28 Oct, before that day’s aparahna, and ended at 13:33 on Sun 29 Oct, partway into the next. The Nirnayasindhu takes the day Dwitiya fills: Sat 28 Oct. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
