Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 22 Mar in Olean?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 22 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:44 Wed–01:49 Wed.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:44 Wed–01:49 Wed.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:27–20:48. Purnima: 17:43 to 15:18 Wed.
Purnima ended at 15:18; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 17:43 on Tue 22 Mar to 15:18 on Wed 23 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:27–20:48) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:28 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:44 Wed–01:49 Wed, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
