When is Holika Dahan 2021 in Progreso?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:43–23:46.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 27 Mar in Progreso?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 27 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:43–23:46.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:43–23:46.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:12–20:32. Purnima: 15:57 to 12:48 Sun.
Purnima ended at 12:48; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). 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 15:57 on Sat 27 Mar to 12:48 on Sun 28 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:12–20:32) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:25 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:43–23:46, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
