Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 26 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 26 Oct: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Pratipada until 14:47, inside aparahna; then Dwitiya. Dwitiya: 14:47 to 11:14 Mon.
Dwitiya ended at 11:14; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 14:47 Sun to 11:14.
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 14:47 on Sun 26 Oct to 11:14 on Mon 27 Oct, so it touches only Sunday’s aparahna (13:22–15:40). 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.
