Holika Dahan muhurat: the time after bhadra, 18:58–20:37.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 07:26 Mon.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 07:26 on Mon 2 Mar to 06:37 on Tue 3 Mar, so only Monday’s pradosha (18:04–20:37) falls within it. Bhadra lasts until 18:58, and the Dharmasindhu keeps the rite out of bhadra: it is done from 18:58.
