Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 23 Oct in Chahārbāgh?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 23 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 18:17.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:56–15:09. Dwitiya: 18:17 Wed to 20:47.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). 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 18:17 on Wed 22 Oct to 20:47 on Thu 23 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (12:56–15:09) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
