Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 21 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 21 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 01:37 Sat.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:23–15:42. Dwitiya: 01:37 to 03:00 Sun.
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 01:37 on Sat 21 Oct to 03:00 on Sun 22 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:23–15:42) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
