Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 9 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 9 Mar: Purnima holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 03:04 Mon.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:37–21:02. Purnima: 03:04 to 23:17.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 03:04 on Mon 9 Mar to 23:17 on Mon 9 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02) falls within it.
