Holika Dahan is on Thu 13 Mar, after bhadra ends at 18:57.
Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 18:57–20:43.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 06:06 Thu.
Purnima holds all of pradosha, 18:19–20:43. Purnima: 06:06 to 07:54 Fri.
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 06:06 on Thu 13 Mar to 07:54 on Fri 14 Mar, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:19–20:43) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 18:57, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 18:57.
