Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 12 Mar in Pāthardi?
By the Dharmasindhu, Holika Dahan is on Sun 12 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha on both evenings and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi until 20:23, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:23 to 20:23 Sun.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 20:23; then Pratipada. Purnima: 20:23 Sat to 20:23.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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: Sun 12 Mar, where it holds pradosha until 20:23.
