When is Holika Dahan 1922 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:04 Mon–04:04 Mon.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 12 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 12 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 03:04 Mon–04:04 Mon.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:04 Mon–04:04 Mon.
Chaturdashi until 20:29, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:29 to 16:43 Mon.
Purnima ended at 16:43; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 20:29 Sun to 16:43.
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 20:29 on Sun 12 Mar to 16:43 on Mon 13 Mar, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 06:36 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 03:04 Mon–04:04 Mon, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
