Panchang in Myshkin, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia Sun 21 Mar 2027

Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra. Purnima runs from 15:52 on Sun 21 Mar to 13:43 on Mon 22 Mar, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:41–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 02:45 Mon, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 22:58–00:03 Mon, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 22:58–00:03 Mon.

Holika Dahan: every date in Myshkin

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 156°–168° is the 14th, Shukla Chaturdashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:26 here. Trayodashi ended at 18:15 Sat, before it. Chaturdashi ends at 15:52, when the lead reaches 168°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Mar, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sat 20 Mar ran from sunset 18:39 Sat to sunrise 06:26, 11 h 47 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:26 to 18:41, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:41 to 06:23 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 19:37, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 336.1° + 138.8° = 474.9°, one full turn and 114.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 106°40′–120°00′ is the 9th, Shula. It ends at 14:28, then Ganda.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturdashi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 05:02, when the lead reached 162°; Vanija runs until 15:52.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:26 to 06:23 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 15 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 7 Apr, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 8 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna. This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 04:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 361.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
