Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 15 Nov in Myjava?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 15 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 19:26.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:29–14:19. Dwitiya: 19:26 Wed to 15:48.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 19:26 on Wed 14 Nov to 15:48 on Thu 15 Nov, so only Thursday’s aparahna (12:29–14:19) 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.
