When is Holika Dahan 1964 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:37 Thu–03:46 Thu.
Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 26 Feb in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 26 Feb, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:37 Thu–03:46 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:37 Thu–03:46 Thu.
Chaturdashi until 19:09, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:09 to 18:09 Thu.
Purnima ended at 18:09; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:09 Wed to 18:09.
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 19:09 on Wed 26 Feb to 18:09 on Thu 27 Feb, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:33–21:00). Bhadra lasts until 06:36 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:37 Thu–03:46 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
