Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 28 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 28 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 21:15. Purnima: 21:15 to 20:41 Wed.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 20:41; then Pratipada. Purnima: 21:15 Tue to 20:41.
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 21:15 on Tue 27 Mar to 20:41 on Wed 28 Mar, so it touches only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:42–21:02).
