When is Holika Dahan 1903 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:54 Fri–03:59 Fri.
Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 12 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 12 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:54 Fri–03:59 Fri.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:54 Fri–03:59 Fri.
Chaturdashi until 19:51, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:51 to 17:33 Fri.
Purnima ended at 17:33; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:51 Thu to 17:33.
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 19:51 on Thu 12 Mar to 17:33 on Fri 13 Mar, so it touches only Thursday’s pradosha (18:28–20:53). Bhadra lasts until 06:39 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:54 Fri–03:59 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
