When is Holika Dahan 1994 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:53 Sun–03:54 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 26 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 26 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:53 Sun–03:54 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:53 Sun–03:54 Sun.
Chaturdashi until 20:15, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:15 to 16:39 Sun.
Purnima ended at 16:39; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 20:15 Sat to 16:39.
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 20:15 on Sat 26 Mar to 16:39 on Sun 27 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:41–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 06:29 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:53 Sun–03:54 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
