Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 27 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 27 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:39. Dwitiya: 11:48 to 13:29 Sun.
Dwitiya holds aparahna only until 13:29; then Tritiya. Dwitiya: 11:48 Sat to 13:29.
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 began at 11:48 on Sat 27 Oct, before that day’s aparahna, and ended at 13:29 on Sun 28 Oct, partway into the next. The Nirnayasindhu takes the day Dwitiya fills: Sat 27 Oct. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
