Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 19 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 19 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 20:45. Purnima: 20:45 to 20:24 Sun.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 20:24; then Pratipada. Purnima: 20:45 Sat to 20:24.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 20:45 on Sat 18 Mar to 20:24 on Sun 19 Mar, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (18:08–20:31).
