Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 3 Mar in Baoding?
By the Dharmasindhu, Holika Dahan is on Tue 3 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha on both evenings and it takes the later.
Chaturdashi until 20:26, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 20:26 to 19:37 Tue.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 19:37; then Pratipada. Purnima: 20:26 Mon to 19:37.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Purnima touches pradosha on both evenings. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the later day: Tue 3 Mar, where it holds pradosha until 19:37.
