When is Holika Dahan 2011 in Ipameri?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:37 Sat–02:38 Sat.
Why is Holika Dahan on Fri 18 Mar in Ipameri?
Holika Dahan is on Fri 18 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:37 Sat–02:38 Sat.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:37 Sat–02:38 Sat.
Chaturdashi until 19:06, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:06 to 15:10 Sat.
Purnima ended at 15:10; 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 19:06 on Fri 18 Mar to 15:10 on Sat 19 Mar, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:25–20:47). Bhadra lasts until 05:09 Sat, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:37 Sat–02:38 Sat, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
