Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 21 Mar?
In New Delhi
Holika Dahan is on Sun 21 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:28 Mon–02:33 Mon.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:28 Mon–02:33 Mon.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:32–20:54. Purnima: 18:22 to 16:13 Mon.
Purnima ended at 16:13; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 18:22 Sun to 16:13.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 18:22 on Sun 21 Mar to 16:13 on Mon 22 Mar, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:32–20:54) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:15 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:28 Mon–02:33 Mon, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Phalguna Purnima
Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra.
- Smarta
- the evening whose pradosha Purnima holds; when it touches both, the later; when neither, the earlier; out of bhadra, or in its tail (puchha) when bhadra lasts past nishitha (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
