Holika Dahan is on Sun 23 Mar, after bhadra ends at 20:27.
Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 20:27–20:53.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:31–20:53. Purnima: 08:20 to 08:42 Mon.

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 08:20 on Sun 23 Mar to 08:42 on Mon 24 Mar, so only Sunday’s pradosha (18:31–20:53) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 20:27, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 20:27.
