Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 5 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 5 Mar: Purnima holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 03:01 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:35–21:01. Purnima: 03:01 to 23:30.
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 03:01 on Sun 5 Mar to 23:30 on Sun 5 Mar, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:35–21:01) falls within it.
