When is Holika Dahan 1901 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:13–21:29.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 4 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 4 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 20:13–21:29.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:13–21:29.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:26–20:52. Purnima: 11:56 to 13:25 Tue.
Purnima ended at 13:25; 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 11:56 on Mon 4 Mar to 13:25 on Tue 5 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:26–20:52) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:37 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 20:13–21:29, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
