When is Holika Dahan 1956 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:35 Mon–04:42 Mon.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 25 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 25 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 03:35 Mon–04:42 Mon.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:35 Mon–04:42 Mon.
Chaturdashi until 20:18, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:18 to 18:41 Mon.
Purnima ended at 18:41; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 20:18 Sun to 18:41.
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 Sun 25 Mar to 18:41 on Mon 26 Mar, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (18:41–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 07:26 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 03:35 Mon–04:42 Mon, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
