Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 3 Nov in Davinópolis?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 3 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 21:54.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:07–15:34. Dwitiya: 21:54 Wed to 20:56.
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 21:54 on Wed 2 Nov to 20:56 on Thu 3 Nov, so only Thursday’s aparahna (13:07–15:34) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
