Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 30 Oct in Ipameri?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 30 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 22:48.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:12–16:45. Dwitiya: 22:48 Wed to 00:47 Fri.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). 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 22:48 on Wed 29 Oct to 00:47 on Fri 31 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (14:12–16:45) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
