Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 5 Mar in Myjava?
By the Dharmasindhu, Holika Dahan is on Thu 5 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha on both evenings and it takes the later.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 17:37–20:10. Purnima: 16:27 to 19:05 Thu.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 19:05; then Pratipada. Purnima: 16:27 Wed to 19:05.
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: Thu 5 Mar, where it holds pradosha until 19:05.
