Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 16 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 16 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:35. Dwitiya: 10:41 to 09:49 Sat.
Dwitiya ended at 09:49; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 runs from 10:41 on Fri 16 Nov to 09:49 on Sat 17 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:21–15:35) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
