Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 1 Nov in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 1 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 20:53.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:21–15:38. Dwitiya: 20:53 Tue to 17:18.
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 20:53 on Tue 31 Oct to 17:18 on Wed 1 Nov, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:21–15:38) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
