Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 19 Oct in Ipameri?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 19 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 02:27 Mon.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:13–16:43. Dwitiya: 02:27 to 01:57 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Aparahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Dwitiya runs from 02:27 on Mon 19 Oct to 01:57 on Tue 20 Oct, so only Monday’s aparahna (14:13–16:43) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
