Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 21 Oct in Davinópolis?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 21 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:07. Dwitiya: 17:07 to 18:30 Sat.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:07–15:34. Dwitiya: 17:07 Fri to 18:30.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). 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 17:07 on Fri 20 Oct to 18:30 on Sat 21 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:07–15:34) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
