When is Holika Dahan 1996 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:52–23:08.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 4 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 4 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 21:52–23:08.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:52–23:08.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:35–21:01. Purnima: 13:41 to 14:52 Tue.
Purnima ended at 14:52; 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 13:41 on Mon 4 Mar to 14:52 on Tue 5 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:35–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:20 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 21:52–23:08, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
