Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 31 Oct in Baoding?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 31 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 20:22.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:04–15:12. Dwitiya: 20:22 Sat to 19:43.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 20:22 on Sat 30 Oct to 19:43 on Sun 31 Oct, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:04–15:12) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
