Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 9 Nov in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 9 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 19:37.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:44–15:46. Dwitiya: 19:37 Thu to 19:50.
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 19:37 on Thu 8 Nov to 19:50 on Fri 9 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:44–15:46) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
