Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:59–00:59 Wed.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 17:52–20:24. Purnima: 17:25 to 13:35 Wed.
Purnima ended at 13:35; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 17:25 on Tue 3 Mar to 13:35 on Wed 4 Mar, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (17:52–20:24) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:31 Wed, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:59–00:59 Wed, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
