When is Holika Dahan 2021 in Olean?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:43 Sun–01:46 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 27 Mar in Olean?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 27 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:43 Sun–01:46 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:43 Sun–01:46 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:34–21:51. Purnima: 17:57 to 14:48 Sun.
Purnima ended at 14:48; 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 17:57 on Sat 27 Mar to 14:48 on Sun 28 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (19:34–21:51) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:25 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:43 Sun–01:46 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
