Why is Bhai Dooj on Thu 19 Oct in Olean?
Bhai Dooj is on Thu 19 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 19:31.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:03–16:14. Dwitiya: 19:31 Wed to 16:29.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). 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 19:31 on Wed 18 Oct to 16:29 on Thu 19 Oct, so only Thursday’s aparahna (14:03–16:14) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
