When is Holika Dahan 1999 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:10–21:22.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 1 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 1 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 20:10–21:22.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:10–21:22.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:34–21:01. Purnima: 12:18 to 12:28 Tue.
Purnima ended at 12:28; 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 12:18 on Mon 1 Mar to 12:28 on Tue 2 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:34–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 00:20 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 20:10–21:22, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
