When is Holika Dahan 1990 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:40–00:54 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 10 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 10 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 23:40–00:54 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:40–00:54 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:37–21:02. Purnima: 15:34 to 16:28 Sun.
Purnima ended at 16:28; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 15:34 Sat to 16:28.
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 15:34 on Sat 10 Mar to 16:28 on Sun 11 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:58 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:40–00:54 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
