Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 18 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 18 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:02 Fri–01:15 Fri.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:02 Fri–01:15 Fri.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:10–21:33. Purnima: 16:10 to 16:23 Fri.
Purnima ended at 16:23; pradosha is Pratipada.
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 16:10 on Thu 18 Mar to 16:23 on Fri 19 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (19:10–21:33) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:20 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:02 Fri–01:15 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
