When is Holika Dahan 1989 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:30–22:50.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 21 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 21 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 21:30–22:50.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:30–22:50.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:40–21:02. Purnima: 12:51 to 15:27 Wed.
Purnima ended at 15:27; 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 12:51 on Tue 21 Mar to 15:27 on Wed 22 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:40–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:09 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 21:30–22:50, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
