Holika Dahan 2025: The festival of Holika Dahan is celebrated a day before Holi, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. Holi, the festival of colors, joy, and new energy, is preceded by Holika Dahan, which is believed to cleanse negative energies from our surroundings and lives.

Across India, Holika Dahan is performed at public squares and open spaces. However, it is considered inauspicious to conduct the ritual during Bhadra Kaal. This year, the presence of Bhadra on Holi raises concerns over the correct timing for the ceremony.

Holika Dahan 2025 Date:

Holika Dahan will take place on March 13, 2025, on the occasion of Phalguna Purnima. According to Hindu traditions, the best time for Holika Dahan is during Pradosh Vyapini Purnima, free from the influence of Bhadra.

Phalguna Purnima 2025 Timing:

Begins: March 13, 2025, at 10:35 AM
Ends: March 14, 2025, at 12:23 PM
Notably, a lunar eclipse will also occur on this day.

Bhadra Timing On Holika Dahan:

Bhadra Poonch: March 13, 2025, from 6:57 PM to 8:14 PM
Bhadra Mukh: March 13, 2025, from 8:14 PM to 10:22 PM
Holika Dahan should only be performed after 10:22 PM, once Bhadra ends.

Holika Dahan 2025 Muhurat:

The most favorable time for Holika Dahan is from 11:26 PM to 12:30 AM on March 13, 2025. This one-hour period is considered highly auspicious for the ritual.

Why Is Holika Dahan Not Performed During Bhadra?

According to Hindu scriptures, Bhadra is the daughter of Surya (Sun God) and sister of Shani Dev (Saturn). She is known for her fierce and inauspicious nature, making any significant rituals or new beginnings unfavorable during her influence.

Performing Holika Dahan during Bhadra is believed to bring misfortune and negativity. Astrologically, when the Moon transits through Cancer, Leo, Aquarius, or Pisces, it forms a Bhadra Vishṭi Karana, during which Bhadra resides on Earth, making it necessary to avoid any auspicious activities during this time.
