When is Holika Dahan 1993 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:44 Mon–02:44 Mon.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 7 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 7 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:44 Mon–02:44 Mon.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:44 Mon–02:44 Mon.
Chaturdashi until 19:13, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:13 to 15:15 Mon.
Purnima ended at 15:15; 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 19:13 on Sun 7 Mar to 15:15 on Mon 8 Mar, so it touches only Sunday’s pradosha (18:36–21:01). Bhadra lasts until 05:15 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:44 Mon–02:44 Mon, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
