Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 26 Oct in Davinópolis?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 26 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:07–15:34. Dwitiya: 06:17 to 02:44 Mon.
Dwitiya ended at 02:44; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). 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 06:17 on Sun 26 Oct to 02:44 on Mon 27 Oct, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:07–15:34) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
