When is Holika Dahan 2021 in Midleton?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 05:43 Sun–06:46 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 27 Mar in Midleton?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 27 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 05:43 Sun–06:46 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 05:43 Sun–06:46 Sun.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 21:57. Purnima: 21:57 to 19:48 Sun.
Purnima ended at 19:48; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 21:57 Sat to 19:48.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). 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 21:57 on Sat 27 Mar to 19:48 on Sun 28 Mar, between the two evenings’ pradosha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the earlier day: Sat 27 Mar. Bhadra lasts until 09:22 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 05:43 Sun–06:46 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
