Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:12–00:30 Tue.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 6 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 6 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 23:12–00:30 Tue.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:12–00:30 Tue.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:56–21:26. Purnima: 14:47 to 16:40 Tue.
Purnima ended at 16:40; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 14:47 Mon to 16:40.
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 14:47 on Mon 6 Mar to 16:40 on Tue 7 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:56–21:26) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:46 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:12–00:30 Tue, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
