When is Holika Dahan 1905 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:35–21:36.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 20 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 20 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 20:35–21:36.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:35–21:36.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:31–20:53. Purnima: 14:00 to 10:16 Tue.
Purnima ended at 10:16; 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 14:00 on Mon 20 Mar to 10:16 on Tue 21 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:31–20:53) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:09 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 20:35–21:36, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
