Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 21 Oct in Codcod?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 21 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:42–15:05. Dwitiya: 04:07 to 05:30 Sun.
Dwitiya ended at 05:30; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 04:07 on Sat 21 Oct to 05:30 on Sun 22 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (12:42–15:05) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

- Smarta
