Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 28 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 28 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 21:41.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:40. Dwitiya: 21:41 Thu to 18:13.
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 21:41 on Thu 27 Oct to 18:13 on Fri 28 Oct, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:21–15:40) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
