Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 28 Feb in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 28 Feb: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 00:20 Sun.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 20:37; then Pratipada. Purnima: 00:20 to 20:37.
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 00:20 on Sun 28 Feb to 20:37 on Sun 28 Feb, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (18:49–21:22).
