Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 25 Oct in Ipameri?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 25 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 20:17.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:12–16:44. Dwitiya: 20:17 Fri to 20:09.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). 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 20:17 on Fri 24 Oct to 20:09 on Sat 25 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (14:12–16:44) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
