📜 How this date was determined
Purnima pervades sayahna kaal on one day only (69% of the window). The pyre is lit in the second half of Purnima at night, and Bhadra must be avoided — Purnima pervading sayahna decides the day. Bhadra (Vishti karana) covers sayahna kaal entirely on 29 Mar (11:52-21:55), so the rite cannot be performed then. It moves to the next Bhadra-free stretch while the tithi still runs — pratah kaal on 30 Mar, 06:15-08:43.
