When is Holika Dahan 1950 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:33 Sat–02:37 Sat.
Why is Holika Dahan on Fri 3 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Fri 3 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:33 Sat–02:37 Sat.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:33 Sat–02:37 Sat.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:35–21:01. Purnima: 18:33 to 16:03 Sat.
Purnima ended at 16:03; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 18:33 Fri to 16:03.
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 18:33 on Fri 3 Mar to 16:03 on Sat 4 Mar, so only Friday’s pradosha (18:35–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:21 Sat, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:33 Sat–02:37 Sat, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
