Questions
From the Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi and its commentary, with the page for each.
When does Holashtak 2027 start and end?
In Delhi, it runs from Monday, 15 March 2027, when the Aṣṭamī begins at 10:51, to Monday, 22 March 2027, when the Pūrṇimā ends at 16:13. Śīghrabodha, in the commentary on Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi 1.40
Does Holashtak apply everywhere?
No. On the banks of the Beas (Vipāśā), the Ravi (Irāvatī) and the Sutlej (Śutudrī), and at Pushkar (Tripuṣkara), the eight days before Holikā are not good for marriage and other auspicious acts. The commentary adds, quoting the Śīghrabodha, that elsewhere the days are auspicious. Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi 1.40
Are weddings avoided during Holashtak?
Only in those regions: the Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi avoids the eight days for marriage and other auspicious acts on the banks of the Beas, Ravi and Sutlej and at Pushkar. Elsewhere the days are auspicious, by the Śīghrabodha quoted in its commentary. The site’s muhurat finder does not apply it. Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi 1.40
Why eight days?
The eight days run from the Aṣṭamī of Phālguna’s bright half to the Pūrṇimā. Holāṣṭaka means these eight days before Holikā; the Pūrṇimā is the night of Holika Dahan. Śīghrabodha, in the commentary on Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi 1.40
How the days are found
Read the methodology- The span
- The Phālguna śukla Aṣṭamī to the Pūrṇimā: from the moment the Aṣṭamī begins to the end of the Pūrṇimā, at the city. The Śīghrabodha, in the commentary on Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi 1.40 (p. 34).
- Where
- Only on the Beas, Ravi and Sutlej and at Pushkar (Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi 1.40, p. 33); elsewhere auspicious, by the Śīghrabodha quoted in the commentary (p. 34).
- Holi
- Holika Dahan follows the Holi pages’ rules: the Pūrṇimā at pradoṣa, avoiding Bhadrā’s face.
