Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 23 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 23 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:49–16:58. Dwitiya: 12:12 to 13:48 Tue.
Dwitiya ended at 13:48; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 12:12 Mon to 13:48.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). 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 12:12 on Mon 23 Oct to 13:48 on Tue 24 Oct, so only Monday’s aparahna (14:49–16:58) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
