Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 1 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 1 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:38. Dwitiya: 01:39 to 04:11 Wed.
Dwitiya ended at 04:11; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 01:39 on Tue 1 Nov to 04:11 on Wed 2 Nov, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:21–15:38) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
