Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 26 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 26 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:14–23:22.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:14–23:22.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:18–21:37. Purnima: 14:54 to 13:27 Wed.
Purnima ended at 13:27; 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 14:54 on Tue 26 Mar to 13:27 on Wed 27 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (19:18–21:37) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:14 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:14–23:22, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
