The window, the reason it is that window, and an honest answer about what we will not publish.
Holika Dahan follows Phalguna Purnima (the full moon of Phalguna), the evening before Holi. The ritual window is set by the tithi and by the position of the moon relative to the lagna for your location — which is why the same festival has a slightly different puja window in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai even though the civil date is the same.
Because of that, we do not publish city-by-city muhurat minutes. Getting a muhurat wrong is a genuinely harmful error — people plan their day, their travel and their leave around it — and we cannot verify every city against a reliable panchang. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than telling you where to look.
For the exact window in your city, check a location-specific panchang or your family’s usual almanac. What we can tell you reliably is the date, the day of the week, whether it is a multi-day observance, and where the date itself differs between regions — all of which is below.

Holika Dahan 2026
Holika Dahan falls on Tuesday 3 March 2026, on Phalguna Purnima, the evening before Holi on 4 March.
Bhadra is considered an inauspicious period in the panchang. Lighting the Holika fire during Bhadra is traditionally avoided, which is why the muhurat differs between cities on the same date.
