Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 28 Feb in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 28 Feb, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:49–00:05 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:49–00:05 Thu.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:34–21:01. Purnima: 14:36 to 15:55 Thu.
Purnima ended at 15:55; pradosha is Pratipada.
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 14:36 on Wed 28 Feb to 15:55 on Thu 1 Mar, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:34–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:19 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:49–00:05 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
