Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 26 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 26 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:48–15:56. Dwitiya: 13:17 to 09:44 Mon.
Dwitiya ended at 09:44; 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 13:17 on Sun 26 Oct to 09:44 on Mon 27 Oct, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:48–15:56) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
