A full Moon rises as the Sun sets and sets as it rises, which is the check anyone can make without an almanac: on this date the Moon rises at 6:39 PM against a sunset of 6:32 PM, and sets at 5:59 AM against a sunrise of 6:25 AM. The tithi ends at 22 Mar, 4:14 PM — the instant the Moon is exactly 180° from the Sun.
Holika Dahan is on a different date
The vrat day above is the one this tithi governs at sunrise. Holika Dahan follows the dusk rule instead — it is performed when the tithi prevails at pradosh, which this month is 21 March 2027. The two are a day apart and both are correct; they simply answer different questions.
