When is Holika Dahan 1965 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:16 Wed–03:21 Wed.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 16 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 16 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:16 Wed–03:21 Wed.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:16 Wed–03:21 Wed.
Chaturdashi until 19:14, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:14 to 16:53 Wed.
Purnima ended at 16:53; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:14 Tue to 16:53.
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 19:14 on Tue 16 Mar to 16:53 on Wed 17 Mar, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:39–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 06:01 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:16 Wed–03:21 Wed, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
