Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 23 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 23 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:22–15:41. Dwitiya: 12:42 to 14:18 Tue.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 14:18; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 12:42 Mon to 14:18.
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 began at 12:42 on Mon 23 Oct, before that day’s aparahna, and ended at 14:18 on Tue 24 Oct, partway into the next. The Nirnayasindhu takes the day Dwitiya fills: Mon 23 Oct. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
