The same for every city, on the Bhai Dooj 2013 page:
Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 5 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 5 Nov: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 16:01. Dwitiya: 16:01 to 13:26 Tue.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:26; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 16:01 Mon to 13:26.
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 16:01 on Mon 4 Nov to 13:26 on Tue 5 Nov, so it touches only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:20–15:37). 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.
