Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 19 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 19 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:23–15:43. Dwitiya: 09:57 to 09:27 Tue.
Dwitiya ended at 09:27; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 runs from 09:57 on Mon 19 Oct to 09:27 on Tue 20 Oct, so only Monday’s aparahna (13:23–15:43) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
