Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 19:11–21:01.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 6 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 6 Mar, after bhadra ends at 19:11.
Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 19:11–21:01.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 05:57 Sat.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:36–21:01. Purnima: 05:57 to 08:25 Sun.
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 05:57 on Sat 6 Mar to 08:25 on Sun 7 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:36–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 19:11, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 19:11.
