Why is Bhai Dooj on Sun 31 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sun 31 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:52. Dwitiya: 17:52 to 17:13 Sun.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:38. Dwitiya: 17:52 Sat to 17:13.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 17:52 on Sat 30 Oct to 17:13 on Sun 31 Oct, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:21–15:38) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
