Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 28 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 28 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:47–16:54. Dwitiya: 12:42 to 12:03 Sun.
Dwitiya ended at 12:03; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 12:42 Sat to 12:03.
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 12:42 on Sat 28 Oct to 12:03 on Sun 29 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (14:47–16:54) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
