When is Holika Dahan 1931 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:29 Wed–03:29 Wed.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 3 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 3 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:29 Wed–03:29 Wed.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:29 Wed–03:29 Wed.
Chaturdashi until 19:55, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:55 to 16:05 Wed.
Purnima ended at 16:05; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:55 Tue to 16:05.
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 19:55 on Tue 3 Mar to 16:05 on Wed 4 Mar, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:35–21:01). Bhadra lasts until 06:01 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:29 Wed–03:29 Wed, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
