Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 21 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 21 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 00:07 Sat.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:49–16:00. Dwitiya: 00:07 to 01:30 Sun.
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 00:07 on Sat 21 Oct to 01:30 on Sun 22 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:49–16:00) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
