When is Holika Dahan 2026 in Carnforth?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:58–21:08.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 2 Mar in Carnforth?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 2 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 19:58–21:08.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 19:58–21:08.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 17:49–20:27. Purnima: 12:26 to 11:37 Tue.
Purnima ended at 11:37; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). 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 12:26 on Mon 2 Mar to 11:37 on Tue 3 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (17:49–20:27) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 23:58, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 19:58–21:08, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
