Why this date?
Falls on Phalguna Shukla Purnima. The bonfire muhurta can include Bhadra and pradosha exceptions, so Samvat lists the India-baseline Purnima observance date and treats Rangwali Holi as the following Chaitra Krishna Pratipada.
For 2031, Samvat resolves the observance to Sunday, 9 March 2031, with Shukla Purnima, Phalguna. The public festival calendar uses an India-baseline Panchang; personal observance can vary by location and family tradition.
