Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 23 Oct in Diffa?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 23 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 15:47. Dwitiya: 15:47 to 18:17 Thu.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:04–15:25. Dwitiya: 15:47 Wed to 18:17.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 15:47 on Wed 22 Oct to 18:17 on Thu 23 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (13:04–15:25) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
