In the order a household actually does it, including what to set up beforehand.
Stack wood in a pyramid around a central stake, adding cow-dung cakes. In villages this is accumulated over days. Keep it clear of cables and trees — bonfire-related electrical incidents are real.
The family circles the unlit pile with water and akshat, wraps a red thread around the pole, and places the coconut, wheat ears and gur at the top.
Light the pyre after dusk but before the Nishita window closes, avoiding Bhadra. Offer gur, sattu and wheat into the fire.
Walk around the burning pyre, then take embers or ash home. In many households the ash is applied the next day along with colour.

Ritual order genuinely varies. Where it does, this is the difference.
The Holika fire is lit in the neighbourhood ground, and roasting fresh wheat ears over the embers is a shared part of the night. In Bihar, sattu and gur are offered into the fire.
Observed as Kama Dahanam, the burning of Kamadeva, with an entirely different set of stories. The ritual is performed with a ritual pyre rather than a community bonfire.
The community bonfire is observed, though on a smaller scale than in North India, and the following day's colour play is more contained.
