Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Why is Holika Dahan on Fri 21 Mar in Myjava?
By the Dharmasindhu, Holika Dahan is on Fri 21 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha on both evenings and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi until 18:55, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 18:55 to 19:39 Fri.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 19:39; then Pratipada. Purnima: 18:55 Thu to 19:39.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Purnima touches pradosha on both evenings. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Fri 21 Mar, where it holds pradosha until 19:39.
The rule
Phalguna Purnima
Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra.
- Smarta
- the evening whose pradosha Purnima holds; when it touches both, the later; when neither, the earlier; out of bhadra, or in its tail (puchha) when bhadra lasts past nishitha (Dharmasindhu).

- the Smarta day.
