Holika Dahan, a significant Hindu festival symbolizing the victory of good over evil, is celebrated annually on the eve of Holi. In 2025, Holika Dahan will be observed on March 13th, followed by Holi on March 14th.
Holika Dahan is performed on the full moon night (Purnima) of Phalguna month of Hindu calendar, which occurs in March mostly. The sacred time for performing the ritual depends on lunar calculations every year. For 2025, the specific time of the Holika Dahan pooja will be decided upon by local Hindu priests, taking into consideration the alignment of heavenly bodies to decide on the most auspicious moment for celebrations. The devotees are asked to check with local temple authorities or authentic Hindu almanacs (Panchang) nearer to the date for accurate timings.
