Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 27 Oct in Codcod?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 27 Oct: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:17. Dwitiya: 17:17 to 13:44 Mon.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:44; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 17:17 Sun to 13:44.
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 17:17 on Sun 26 Oct to 13:44 on Mon 27 Oct, so it touches only Monday’s aparahna (12:41–15:03). No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
