When is Holika Dahan 1925 in Chahārbāgh?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:13 Tue–02:26 Tue.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 9 Mar in Chahārbāgh?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 9 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:13 Tue–02:26 Tue.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:13 Tue–02:26 Tue.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:04–20:31. Purnima: 17:15 to 17:46 Tue.
Purnima ended at 17:46; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 17:15 Mon to 17:46.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:25). 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 17:15 on Mon 9 Mar to 17:46 on Tue 10 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:04–20:31) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:35 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:13 Tue–02:26 Tue, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
