When is Holika Dahan 1913 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:36 Sat–04:38 Sat.
Why is Holika Dahan on Fri 21 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Fri 21 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 03:36 Sat–04:38 Sat.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:36 Sat–04:38 Sat.
Chaturdashi until 20:57, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:57 to 17:25 Sat.
Purnima ended at 17:25; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 20:57 Fri to 17:25.
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 20:57 on Fri 21 Mar to 17:25 on Sat 22 Mar, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:40–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 07:10 Sat, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 03:36 Sat–04:38 Sat, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
