When is Holika Dahan 1975 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:22 Thu–03:23 Thu.
Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 26 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 26 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:22 Thu–03:23 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:22 Thu–03:23 Thu.
Chaturdashi until 19:45, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:45 to 16:06 Thu.
Purnima ended at 16:06; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:45 Wed to 16:06.
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 19:45 on Wed 26 Mar to 16:06 on Thu 27 Mar, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:41–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 05:54 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:22 Thu–03:23 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
