When is Holika Dahan 2040 in Sevan?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:22 Wed–04:32 Wed.
Why is Holika Dahan on Tue 27 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Tue 27 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 03:22 Wed–04:32 Wed.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:22 Wed–04:32 Wed.
Chaturdashi until 19:45, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 19:45 to 19:11 Wed.
Purnima ended at 19:11; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 19:45 Tue to 19:11.
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 19:45 on Tue 27 Mar to 19:11 on Wed 28 Mar, so it touches only Tuesday’s pradosha (19:19–21:37). Bhadra lasts until 07:32 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 03:22 Wed–04:32 Wed, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
