हकीकतरायहत्या #२९१
Event occured on 1733-01-20 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.
On this day (date merits verification), hakIkat rAi (Haqiqat Rai Bakhmal Puri), about 15 years old, was beheaded by the then punjAbI muslim government of Zakariya Khan. Quasi Abdul Haq, who was responsible for the Fatwa, was also beheaded later on by Sardar Dal Singh and Saradar Mana Singh and shown around the city of Batala.
Background: One day, some of his Muslim classmates ridiculed Hindu goddess Devi Ma. He ultimately responded by ridiculing Fatima, daughter of Prophet Muhammad. The Muslim boys complained to the maulvis. Haqiqat Rai was arrested and sent to Amir Beg, the administrator of Sialkot. Amir said Haqiqat Rai had committed a sin and he can be pardoned only if he accepts Islam as punishment for blasphemy. Haqiqat Rai refused conversion to Islam. Haqiqat Rai’s parents tried to change his mind, but failed. He was then sent to Zakaria Khan, the Governor of Lahore. But Haqiqat Rai did not agree to convert even under further torture. Then he was killed.
Before execution, Hakikat Rai Puri was allowed to take a sacred bath, perform a Gau Daan and listen Gita from a Pandit. He is depicted with a shikhA and a tilak.
The day of his execution used to be marked by a ‘mela’ (fair) on Vasant Panchami day in Lahore, around his ‘samadhi’ (Baway di marrhi), before India’s partition.

कृत्तिका-व्रतम्
Observed on every occurrence of Kr̥ttikā nakshatra (Sūryāstamayaḥ/puurvaviddha).
kr̥ttikā-vratam for Lord Subrahmanya. Observe fast for the entire day, and obtain blessings of all the kr̥ttikā-striyaḥ who raised skanda after His birth. Three Vratas are very special for Subrahmanya—the bhr̥guvāra-subrahmaṇya-vratam in tulāmāsa, this regular kr̥ttikā vratam, and skandaṣaṣṭhivratam.

सायन-सङ्क्रमण-दिन-अपराह्ण-पुण्यकालः
- 12:30→18:11
When the transit of the Sun (saṅkrānti) happens in the second half of the day (aparāhṇa) and before midnight, the second half of the day form a puṇyakāla for various observances. In addition to 16 ghatikas on either side of the transition, and specific puṇyakālas like ṣaḍaśīti, viṣṇupadī etc., this is also useful, especially in cases where the other puṇyakālas are inconvenient for appropriate performance of rituals such as snāna, dāna, tarpaṇa, etc.
While the nirayana puṇyakāla-s are well known, marked by the transit of the Sun into various rāśī-s (which confer the name to the corresponding saura month), there are also ayana-s and sāyana saṅkramaṇa-s, which mark the position of the Sun above the Northern or Southern parts of the Earth. These determine the r̥tu-s, and also the very famous uttarāyaṇa and dakṣināyana (movement of the Sun towards North or South, respectively). While these two types of puṇyakāla-s (sāyana and nirayana) coincided millennia ago, there has been a gradual precession of the equinoxes, owing to the nature of the Earth’s rotation, causing the sāyana saṅkramaṇa-s to happen about 24 days before the nirayana saṅkramaṇa-s. In that era, uttarāyaṇa coincided with makara-saṅkramaṇa and dakṣināyana coincided with karkaṭaka-saṅkramaṇa, and the mēsa and tulā saṅkramaṇa-s corresponded to the equinoxes, when the Sun rises direct East (and sets direct West).
Many Dharma Shastra texts recognise the separate puṇyakāla-s for both types of saṅkramaṇa-s. The vachanam of Jaabaali Maharshi is mentioned above, where he says that the puṇyakāla-s are identical (in their reckoning) for both types of saṅkramaṇa-s. In the Pulastya Siddhanta, the anushthanas which are to be performed in this sayana punya kala just like nirayana are explicitly stated: snāna, dāna, japa, śrāddha, vrata, hōma, etc. In Kala Madhava, which is considered as the source text of the kala vicharas of the Dikshitiya, it is said in the 5th prakarana that, meṣādi-saṅkrāntayo yasmin dine bhavanti tasmād dināt pūrvebhyaḥ ekādaśabhyo dinebhyaḥ prācīne dine, noting that Sayana Sankramanas occurred ~11 days before the day when the Mesha Sankramanas etc occur. Further references are seen in Dharma Sindhu first pariccheda, Jayasimha Kalpadruma sankranti nirnaya and Nirnaya Sindhu first pariccheda. There are also ample references in Vedas, illustrating how Ayana-s happened much later (in certain other eras), e.g. Shukla Yajur Veda Shatapatha Brahmana (Ekapaat Kanda 1/2/3), Nakshatra Sukta belonging to the Atharva Veda (Shaunaka Samhita 19/7/2), Maitrayaniya Aranyaka (6/14), and Taittiriya Brahmana (1/5/2).

सायन-विष्णुपदी-पुण्यकालः
- 13:13→18:11
sāyana-viṣṇupadī-puṇyakāla. For viṣṇupadī-puṇyakāla, the 16 ghatikas preceding and succeeding the saṅkramaṇa form a puṇyakāla; in general, the ghatikas closer to the puṇyakāla are even more sacred.
While the nirayana puṇyakāla-s are well known, marked by the transit of the Sun into various rāśī-s (which confer the name to the corresponding saura month), there are also ayana-s and sāyana saṅkramaṇa-s, which mark the position of the Sun above the Northern or Southern parts of the Earth.

तपो-मासः/शिशिरऋतुः
- 19:37→
Beginning of tapō-māsaḥ, marked by the transit of Sun into into the 11th division of the tropical zodiac. Also marks the end of hēmantar̥tuḥ and the beginning of śiśirar̥tuḥ. While nirayana saṅkrānti’s are widely observed, tropical saṅkrānti’s are also equally sacred, and have similar puṇyakālas associated with them.
