When is Holika Dahan 1941 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:07 Thu–04:10 Thu.
Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 12 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 12 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 03:07 Thu–04:10 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:07 Thu–04:10 Thu.
Chaturdashi until 20:18, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:18 to 17:16 Thu.
Purnima ended at 17:16; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 20:18 Wed to 17:16.
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 20:18 on Wed 12 Mar to 17:16 on Thu 13 Mar, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 06:50 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 03:07 Thu–04:10 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
