Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 9 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 9 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 21:07.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:20–15:36. Dwitiya: 21:07 Thu to 21:20.
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 21:07 on Thu 8 Nov to 21:20 on Fri 9 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:20–15:36) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

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.
