When is Holika Dahan 2065 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:26 Sun–02:29 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 21 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 21 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:26 Sun–02:29 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:26 Sun–02:29 Sun.
Chaturdashi until 18:42, inside pradosha; then Purnima. Purnima: 18:42 to 15:26 Sun.
Purnima ended at 15:26; 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 18:42 on Sat 21 Mar to 15:26 on Sun 22 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:40–21:02). Bhadra lasts until 05:07 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:26 Sun–02:29 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
