When is Holika Dahan 1960 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:02–23:13.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 12 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 12 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:02–23:13.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:02–23:13.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:38–21:02. Purnima: 14:23 to 13:55 Sun.
Purnima ended at 13:55; 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 14:23 on Sat 12 Mar to 13:55 on Sun 13 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:38–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:13 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:02–23:13, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
