Bhai Phonta

13 Kartik 1434

Shukla Dwitiya: 30 Oct 5:52 pm to 31 Oct 5:13 pm

Dwitiya just after midday

How the day is chosen

Shukla Dwitiya of Kartik (Bhratri Dwitiya). The day whose fifth eighth of daytime, just after midday, holds the Dwitiya; if both or neither do, the later day (Tithitattva).

Traditional (Surya Siddhanta) panjikas, such as Gupta Press and Beni Madhab Sil, can differ in tithi times by hours, so in some years the day differs too. Their dates will appear here side by side once that school has been checked against a full printed year.

Tithi times are for Kolkata, in Indian Standard Time. Panjikas give Kolkata’s festival days for all of West Bengal. Why another panjika may differ
