Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 1 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 1 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 23:58–01:16 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:58–01:16 Thu.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:50–21:23. Purnima: 15:30 to 17:34 Thu.
Purnima ended at 17:34; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 15:30 Wed to 17:34.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 15:30 on Wed 1 Mar to 17:34 on Thu 2 Mar, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:50–21:23) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:35 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:58–01:16 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
