Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 1 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 1 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 00:09 Tue.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:45–15:51. Dwitiya: 00:09 to 02:41 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 00:09 on Tue 1 Nov to 02:41 on Wed 2 Nov, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:45–15:51) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
