Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 27 Mar in Cuenca?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 27 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 23:43–00:46 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:43–00:46 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:23–20:46. Purnima: 16:57 to 13:48 Sun.
Purnima ended at 13:48; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 16:57 on Sat 27 Mar to 13:48 on Sun 28 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:23–20:46) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:25 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:43–00:46 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
