Why is Bhai Dooj on Sat 30 Oct in Mapleton?
Bhai Dooj is on Sat 30 Oct: Dwitiya holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dwitiya holds all of aparahna, 14:13–16:19. Dwitiya: 06:22 to 05:43 Sun.
Dwitiya ended at 05:43; aparahna is Tritiya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 06:22 on Sat 30 Oct to 05:43 on Sun 31 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (14:13–16:19) falls within it. No text giving Bhai Dooj’s time was found; aparahna is Tithika’s convention.
