Why is Holika Dahan on Fri 10 Mar in Olean?
Holika Dahan is on Fri 10 Mar: Purnima touches pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 23:51.
Purnima holds pradosha only until 20:06; then Pratipada. Purnima: 23:51 Thu to 20:06.
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 23:51 on Thu 9 Mar to 20:06 on Fri 10 Mar, so it touches only Friday’s pradosha (18:15–20:42).
