When is Holika Dahan 1984 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:05 Sat–03:05 Sat.
Why is Holika Dahan on Fri 16 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Fri 16 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:05 Sat–03:05 Sat.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:05 Sat–03:05 Sat.
Chaturdashi until 19:33, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:33 to 15:39 Sat.
Purnima ended at 15:39; 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 19:33 on Fri 16 Mar to 15:39 on Sat 17 Mar, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:39–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 05:36 Sat, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:05 Sat–03:05 Sat, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
