Bhadra Puncha: From 01:25 am to 02:35 am
Bhadra Mukha: From 02:35 am to 04:30 am
According to Hindu scriptures, Holika Dahan, also known as Holika Deepak or Choti Holi, should be performed during Pradosh Kaal (which begins after sunset), when the full moon day is prevalent. The first half of the full moon day is under the influence of Bhadra, and all auspicious activities should be avoided during Bhadra.
This time is considered especially important for religious rituals. The burning should be performed only after the end of Bhadra Kaal, to channel positive energy and remove any negative influences.
