What is Choti Holi?
In 2025, Choti Holi or Holi Dahan will take place on Thursday, March 13, the evening before the main Holi celebrations. This ritual symbolizes the victory of good over evil, with the burning of Holika representing the destruction of negativity. It is a time for spiritual purification, unity, and renewal.
Holika Dahan 2025: Date and Timings
- Holika Dahan: Thursday, March 13, 2025
- Holika Dahan Muhurat: 11:26 PM to 12:31 AM, March 14
- Rangwali Holi (Main Celebration): Friday, March 14, 2025
The festival begins with the Purnima Tithi, starting at 10:35 AM on March 13 and ending at 12:23 PM on March 14.
Why Timing Matters for Holi Dahan
According to Hindu tradition, Holi Dahan must be performed during Pradosh Kaal (the evening period after sunset) when the Purnima Tithi is in effect. However, during the first part of the Purnima Tithi, Bhadra, an inauspicious period, must be avoided for any important rituals, including Holika Dahan. It’s crucial to choose the right time for the ritual to ensure its spiritual significance.
Celebrate Holi in the right spirit by observing Holi Dahan at the correct time, marking the start of the festival. This joyous occasion reminds us of the power of unity and the beauty of togetherness, as friends and family gather to share colors, sweets, and happiness. Get ready to welcome the season of joy and festivity with love, laughter, and vibrant colors.
