Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 18 Mar in Pāthardi?
Holika Dahan is on Thu 18 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:35 Fri–01:53 Fri.

Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:39–21:02. Purnima: 16:05 to 18:12 Fri.
Purnima ended at 18:12; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 16:05 Thu to 18:12.
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 16:05 on Thu 18 Mar to 18:12 on Fri 19 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:39–21:02) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 05:07 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:35 Fri–01:53 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
