Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 14 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 14 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:41 Sun–01:54 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:41 Sun–01:54 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:04–21:30. Purnima: 16:44 to 17:12 Sun.
Purnima ended at 17:12; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 16:44 Sat to 17:12.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 16:44 on Sat 14 Mar to 17:12 on Sun 15 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (19:04–21:30) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:02 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:41 Sun–01:54 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
