Why is Holika Dahan on Mon 9 Mar in Myjava?
Holika Dahan is on Mon 9 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 22:34. Purnima: 22:34 to 18:47 Mon.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 18:47; then Pratipada. Purnima: 22:34 Sun to 18:47.
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 22:34 on Sun 8 Mar to 18:47 on Mon 9 Mar, so it touches only Monday’s pradosha (17:46–20:15).
The rule

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