Why is Bhai Dooj on Wed 11 Nov in Baoding?
Bhai Dooj is on Wed 11 Nov: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 16:30. Dwitiya: 16:30 to 18:23 Wed.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 13:02–15:05. Dwitiya: 16:30 Tue to 18:23.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). 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 16:30 on Tue 10 Nov to 18:23 on Wed 11 Nov, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (13:02–15:05) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
