When is Holika Dahan 1996 in Sevan?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:22–21:38.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 4 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 4 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 20:22–21:38.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:22–21:38.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:54–21:25. Purnima: 12:11 to 13:22 Tue.
Purnima ended at 13:22; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 12:11 on Mon 4 Mar to 13:22 on Tue 5 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:54–21:25) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:50 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 20:22–21:38, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
