Why is Holika Dahan on Sat 19 Mar in Myjava?
Holika Dahan is on Sat 19 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 23:06.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 19:10; then Pratipada. Purnima: 23:06 Fri to 19:10.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 23:06 on Fri 18 Mar to 19:10 on Sat 19 Mar, so it touches only Saturday’s pradosha (18:00–20:22).
The rule

Holika is burnt in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset, outside bhadra.

- the Smarta day.
