When is Holika Dahan 2088 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:31 Sun–01:40 Sun.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 6 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 6 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:31 Sun–01:40 Sun.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:31 Sun–01:40 Sun.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:36–21:01. Purnima: 17:00 to 16:07 Sun.
Purnima ended at 16:07; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 17:00 Sat to 16:07.
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 17:00 on Sat 6 Mar to 16:07 on Sun 7 Mar, so only Saturday’s pradosha (18:36–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:30 Sun, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:31 Sun–01:40 Sun, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
