Why is Holi on Fri 9 Mar in Doha?

Holi is on Fri 9 Mar: Pratipada holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 05:50 is Purnima; Pratipada begins at 12:39.

Pratipada at sunrise, 05:49. Pratipada: 12:39 Thu to 09:36.

One row per day, on one clock (AST). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

Holi follows the tithi at sunrise. Pratipada runs from 12:39 on Thu 8 Mar to 09:36 on Fri 9 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 9 Mar, at 05:49.

The rule

Chaitra Krishna Pratipada (purnimanta) · Phalguna Krishna Pratipada (amanta)

Holi follows the tithi at sunrise.

Smarta: the day Pratipada holds at sunrise; over two sunrises, the first; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava: the Smarta day.
