When is Holika Dahan 2085 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:33 Sun–01:51 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 10 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 10 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:33 Sun–01:51 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:33 Sun–01:51 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:37–21:02. Purnima: 16:11 to 17:57 Sun.
Purnima ended at 17:57; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 16:11 Sat to 17:57.
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 16:11 on Sat 10 Mar to 17:57 on Sun 11 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:37–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:07 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:33 Sun–01:51 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
