Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 5 Nov in Mapleton?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 5 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:11–16:15. Dwitiya: 11:45 to 08:14 Sat.
Dwitiya ended at 08:14; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 11:45 on Fri 5 Nov to 08:14 on Sat 6 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (14:11–16:15) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

- Smarta
