When is Holika Dahan 2016 in Myjava?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:15–20:34.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 22 Mar in Myjava?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 22 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 19:15–20:34.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:15–20:34.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:05–20:25. Purnima: 10:42 to 13:00 Wed.
Purnima ended at 13:00; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 10:42 on Tue 22 Mar to 13:00 on Wed 23 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:05–20:25) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 23:50, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 19:15–20:34, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
