Why is Bhai Dooj on Fri 5 Nov in Olean?
Bhai Dooj is on Fri 5 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:57–16:00. Dwitiya: 13:45 to 10:14 Sat.
Dwitiya ended at 10:14; 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 13:45 on Fri 5 Nov to 10:14 on Sat 6 Nov, so only Friday’s aparahna (13:57–16:00) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.

- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
