Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 04:14 Tue–05:16 Tue.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 21 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 21 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 04:14 Tue–05:16 Tue.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 04:14 Tue–05:16 Tue.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 21:33. Purnima: 21:33 to 18:07 Tue.
Purnima ended at 18:07; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 21:33 Mon to 18:07.
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 21:33 on Mon 21 Mar to 18:07 on Tue 22 Mar, between the two evenings’ pradosha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the earlier day: Mon 21 Mar. Bhadra lasts until 07:50 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 04:14 Tue–05:16 Tue, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
