When is Holika Dahan 2022 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:04–22:14.
Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 17 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 17 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 21:04–22:14.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 21:04–22:14.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:39–21:02. Purnima: 13:30 to 12:47 Fri.
Purnima ended at 12:47; pradosha is Pratipada.
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 13:30 on Thu 17 Mar to 12:47 on Fri 18 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:39–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 01:12 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 21:04–22:14, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
