Say it like this

In Lima, Holī 2095 falls on Monday 21 March. It is kept the day after Holikā Dahana, which falls on Sunday 20 March. Pūrṇimā runs from 17:44 on Sat 19 Mar to 20:12 on Sun 20 Mar and covers all of sāyāhna on the 20th. It also reaches the previous late afternoon for 35 minutes; the rule does not say which to take, and the one covered longer is ruled: treat the date as contested.
