Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 16 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 16 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 01:35 Fri–02:47 Fri.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 01:35 Fri–02:47 Fri.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:07–21:31. Purnima: 17:47 to 17:46 Fri.
Purnima ended at 17:46; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 17:47 Thu to 17:46.
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 17:47 on Thu 16 Mar to 17:46 on Fri 17 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (19:07–21:31) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:43 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 01:35 Fri–02:47 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
