When is Holika Dahan 2086 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:03 Thu–01:22 Thu.
Why is Holika Dahan on Wed 27 Feb in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Wed 27 Feb, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:03 Thu–01:22 Thu.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:03 Thu–01:22 Thu.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:33–21:01. Purnima: 15:28 to 17:52 Thu.
Purnima ended at 17:52; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 15:28 Wed to 17:52.
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 15:28 on Wed 27 Feb to 17:52 on Thu 28 Feb, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:33–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:39 Thu, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:03 Thu–01:22 Thu, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
