Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 14 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 14 Nov: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:01. Dwitiya: 17:01 to 13:54 Sun.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:54; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 17:01 Sat to 13:54.
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 17:01 on Sat 13 Nov to 13:54 on Sun 14 Nov, so it touches only Sunday’s aparahna (13:21–15:35). 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.
