When is Holika Dahan 2098 in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan muhurat: what time?
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:52–23:56.
Why is Holika Dahan on Sun 16 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Sun 16 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 22:52–23:56.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:52–23:56.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:39–21:02. Purnima: 15:57 to 13:14 Mon.
Purnima ended at 13:14; 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 15:57 on Sun 16 Mar to 13:14 on Mon 17 Mar, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:39–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:33 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:52–23:56, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
