Holika Dahan 2025: Date, Time & Shubh Muhurat

Holi, the festival of colors, is celebrated with great enthusiasm across India. The ritual of Holika Dahan takes place a day before Holi, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.

According to the Hindu Panchang, Falgun Purnima is considered auspicious for Holika Dahan. In 2025, Purnima Tithi starts on March 13 at 10:02 AM and ends on March 14 at 11:11 AM. Since Holika Dahan should be performed during Nishita Kaal (late night) and without Bhadra, this year’s event requires careful timing.
