Holi 2025: When is Holi and Holika Dahan?

In 2025, some believe Holika Dahan and Holi will be celebrated on the same day, i.e. March 13, while some say Holi is on March 15. But here are the correct dates for both the festivals, per Drik Panchang:

This year, Holi is on March 14 because of Bhadra Kaal on March 13. This means Holika Dahan falls on March 13.

Purnima Tithi Begins - 10:35 AM on March 13, 2025

Purnima Tithi Ends - 12:23 PM on March 14, 2025

Holi 2025: What are the timings for Holika Dahan?

Holika Dahan Muhurta - 11:26 PM (March 13) to 12:30 AM (March 14)

Bhadra Punchha - 6:57 PM to 8:14 PM

Bhadra Mukha - 8:14 PM to 10:22 PM

Per the panchang, if Bhadra Kaal is getting over after midnight, then Holika Dahan should be done in Pradosh while Purnima Tithi is prevailing and Bhadra is over. Sometimes, it is also done during Bhadra Punchha. However, one should avoid Bhadra Mukha. This year, Holika Dahan will take place after Bhadra Mukha.

Holi 2025: Is there a specific time to play Rangwali Holi?

While Holika Dahan can be celebrated only at a specific time decided by the priests because of Bhadra Kaal, Rangwali Holi does not have any restrictions. Traditionally, it is played in the morning after breakfast and the celebrations often continue until lunchtime or even stretch into the evening. On this day, children and adults enthusiastically play with colours, water, and flowers. In some parts of the country, people also enjoy playing Lathmar Holi.
