When is Holika Dahan 2051 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:34–21:53.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 26 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 26 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 20:34–21:53.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 20:34–21:53.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:41–21:02. Purnima: 11:56 to 14:30 Mon.
Purnima ended at 14:30; 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 11:56 on Sun 26 Mar to 14:30 on Mon 27 Mar, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:41–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 01:12 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 20:34–21:53, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
