When is Holika Dahan 1963 in Pāthardi?

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:59–21:16.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 9 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 9 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 19:59–21:16.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:59–21:16.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:37–21:02. Purnima: 11:39 to 13:18 Sun.
Purnima ended at 13:18; 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 11:39 on Sat 9 Mar to 13:18 on Sun 10 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:26 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 19:59–21:16, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
