When is Holika Dahan 2003 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:03 Tue–03:06 Tue.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 17 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 17 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 02:03 Tue–03:06 Tue.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 02:03 Tue–03:06 Tue.
Chaturdashi until 19:19, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:19 to 16:04 Tue.
Purnima ended at 16:04; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:19 Mon to 16:04.
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 19:19 on Mon 17 Mar to 16:04 on Tue 18 Mar, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (18:39–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 05:44 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 02:03 Tue–03:06 Tue, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
