Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 5 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 5 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 22:57. Purnima: 22:57 to 21:13 Sat.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 21:13; then Pratipada. Purnima: 22:57 Fri to 21:13.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 22:57 on Fri 4 Mar to 21:13 on Sat 5 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:55–21:25).
