When is Holika Dahan 2012 in Khmelnytskyi?

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:17–22:21.
Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 7 Mar in Khmelnytskyi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 7 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 21:17–22:21.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:17–22:21.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:04–20:35. Purnima: 14:22 to 11:39 Thu.
Purnima ended at 11:39; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 14:22 on Wed 7 Mar to 11:39 on Thu 8 Mar, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:04–20:35) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 01:04 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 21:17–22:21, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
