Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 20 Mar in Ipameri?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 20 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:57–00:11 Fri.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:57–00:11 Fri.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:23–20:45. Purnima: 14:55 to 15:39 Fri.
Purnima ended at 15:39; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). 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 14:55 on Thu 20 Mar to 15:39 on Fri 21 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:23–20:45) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:14 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:57–00:11 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
