Why is Bhai Dooj on Mon 19 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Mon 19 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:50–17:02. Dwitiya: 09:27 to 08:57 Tue.
Dwitiya ended at 08:57; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 09:27 on Mon 19 Oct to 08:57 on Tue 20 Oct, so only Monday’s aparahna (14:50–17:02) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
