Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 16 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 16 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:44–15:42. Dwitiya: 09:11 to 08:19 Sat.
Dwitiya ended at 08:19; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 09:11 on Fri 16 Nov to 08:19 on Sat 17 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:44–15:42) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
