When is Holika Dahan 2036 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:17 Wed–01:21 Wed.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 11 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 11 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:17 Wed–01:21 Wed.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:17 Wed–01:21 Wed.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:37–21:02. Purnima: 17:22 to 14:39 Wed.
Purnima ended at 14:39; 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 17:22 on Tue 11 Mar to 14:39 on Wed 12 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:59 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:17 Wed–01:21 Wed, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
