Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 7 Mar in Sevan?

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 23:50–00:53 Fri.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:57–21:26. Purnima: 16:59 to 14:02 Fri.
Purnima ended at 14:02; pradosha is Pratipada.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 16:59 on Thu 7 Mar to 14:02 on Fri 8 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:57–21:26) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 03:29 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 23:50–00:53 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
