Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 27 Oct in Davinópolis?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 27 Oct: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Pratipada until 13:11, inside aparahna; then Dwitiya. Dwitiya: 13:11 to 09:43 Fri.
Dwitiya ended at 09:43; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). 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 13:11 on Thu 27 Oct to 09:43 on Fri 28 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s aparahna (13:07–15:34). 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.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
