When is Holika Dahan 2003 in Sevan?

Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 17 Mar in Sevan?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 17 Mar, in bhadra’s tail (puchha), 00:33 Tue–01:36 Tue.
Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 00:33 Tue–01:36 Tue.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 19:08–21:32. Purnima: 17:49 to 14:34 Tue.
Purnima ended at 14:34; 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 17:49 on Mon 17 Mar to 14:34 on Tue 18 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (19:08–21:32) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 04:14 Tue, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 00:33 Tue–01:36 Tue, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
