Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 11 Nov in Lorengau?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 11 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 18:30.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:08–15:34. Dwitiya: 18:30 Tue to 20:23.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+10). 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 18:30 on Tue 10 Nov to 20:23 on Wed 11 Nov, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:08–15:34) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
