Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 7 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 7 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 23:17–00:21 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:17–00:21 Thu.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:58–21:27. Purnima: 16:22 to 13:39 Thu.
Purnima ended at 13:39; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 16:22 on Wed 7 Mar to 13:39 on Thu 8 Mar, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:58–21:27) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:04 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:17–00:21 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
