When is Holika Dahan 1912 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:58 Sun–03:01 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 2 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 2 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:58 Sun–03:01 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:58 Sun–03:01 Sun.
Chaturdashi until 19:07, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:07 to 16:11 Sun.
Purnima ended at 16:11; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:07 Sat to 16:11.
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 19:07 on Sat 2 Mar to 16:11 on Sun 3 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:35–21:01). Bhadra lasts until 05:37 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:58 Sun–03:01 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
