Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 22 Oct in Mapleton?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 22 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:15–16:25. Dwitiya: 08:47 to 11:17 Thu.
Dwitiya ended at 11:17; 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 08:47 on Wed 22 Oct to 11:17 on Thu 23 Oct, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (14:15–16:25) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
