Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 20 Oct in Pāthardi?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 20 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 23:27.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:23–15:42. Dwitiya: 23:27 Fri to 00:00 Sun.
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 23:27 on Fri 19 Oct to 00:00 on Sun 21 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:23–15:42) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
