Why is Bhai Dooj on Tue 10 Nov in Olean?
Bhai Dooj is on Tue 10 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 12:57–14:57. Dwitiya: 03:30 to 05:23 Wed.
Dwitiya ended at 05:23; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 03:30 on Tue 10 Nov to 05:23 on Wed 11 Nov, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (12:57–14:57) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
