Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 18 Oct in Bothell?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 18 Oct: Dwitiya touches aparahna on neither day, and the earlier day is taken.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 16:31. Dwitiya: 16:31 to 13:29 Thu.
Dwitiya ended at 13:29; aparahna is Tritiya. Dwitiya: 16:31 Wed to 13:29.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 16:31 on Wed 18 Oct to 13:29 on Thu 19 Oct, between the two days’ aparahna, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 18 Oct. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
