Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 19 Oct in Mapleton?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 19 Oct: Dwitiya touches aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:31. Dwitiya: 17:31 to 14:29 Thu.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 14:29; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 17:31 Wed to 14:29.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 17:31 on Wed 18 Oct to 14:29 on Thu 19 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s aparahna (14:16–16:28). No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Dwitiya
The tilak is applied in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dwitiya holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
