Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 29 Oct in Sevan?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 29 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:46–15:54. Dwitiya: 04:43 to 02:17 Wed.
Dwitiya ended at 02:17; aparahna is Tritiya.
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 04:43 on Tue 29 Oct to 02:17 on Wed 30 Oct, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:46–15:54) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
