When is Holika Dahan 2016 in Sevan?

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:15–23:34.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 22 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 22 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:15–23:34.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:15–23:34.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:14–21:35. Purnima: 13:42 to 16:00 Wed.
Purnima ended at 16:00; 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 13:42 on Tue 22 Mar to 16:00 on Wed 23 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (19:14–21:35) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:50 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:15–23:34, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
