Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 6 Mar in Davinópolis?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 6 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 21:05. Purnima: 21:05 to 20:14 Sat.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 20:14; then Pratipada. Purnima: 21:05 Fri to 20:14.
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 21:05 on Fri 5 Mar to 20:14 on Sat 6 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:26–20:47).
