Why is Holika Dahan on Thu 9 Mar in Orting?

Holika Dahan muhurat: bhadra puchha, 03:26 Fri–04:26 Fri.
Pradosha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 20:51. Purnima: 20:51 to 17:06 Fri.
Purnima ended at 17:06; pradosha is Pratipada. Purnima: 20:51 Thu to 17:06.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). 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 20:51 on Thu 9 Mar to 17:06 on Fri 10 Mar, between the two evenings’ pradosha, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the earlier day: Thu 9 Mar. Bhadra lasts until 06:58 Fri, past nishitha, so the Dharmasindhu allows its tail, the puchha. Tithika places the puchha at 03:26 Fri–04:26 Fri, scaled from its ghatis: Tithika’s convention.
