When is Holika Dahan 1900 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:42–21:01.
Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 15 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 15 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 19:42–21:01.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:42–21:01.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:30–20:53. Purnima: 11:06 to 13:32 Fri.
Purnima ended at 13:32; pradosha is Pratipada.
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 11:06 on Thu 15 Mar to 13:32 on Fri 16 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:30–20:53) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:20 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 19:42–21:01, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
