Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 19:37–21:01.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 08:57 Thu.

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 08:57 on Thu 1 Mar to 06:21 on Fri 2 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:34–21:01) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 19:37, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 19:37.
