When is Holika Dahan 2074 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:08 Tue–01:12 Tue.
Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 12 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 12 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:08 Tue–01:12 Tue.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:08 Tue–01:12 Tue.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:38–21:02. Purnima: 17:13 to 14:32 Tue.
Purnima ended at 14:32; 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 17:13 on Mon 12 Mar to 14:32 on Tue 13 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:38–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:55 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:08 Tue–01:12 Tue, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
