Holi is the most vibrant holiday of the year in India. It makes everyone forget their differences and embrace one another. The Holika Dahan celebrations fall a day before Holi. This time, on Tuesday, March 7, the Holika Dahan celebration will be observed. 

Holika Dahan symbolises the victory of justice against injustice in the scriptures. Holika set herself on fire to murder Prahlad, a follower of Narayan, but Prahlad was unharmed. Holika Dahan is celebrated every year, and people burn all the evils by burning Holika with devotion.

This year’s Holika Dahan will be unique because, due to planetary circumstances, several fortunate coincidences will occur at once on this day. The full moon period of Holika Dahan will be from Monday, March 6, at 6.17 p.m. through Tuesday, March 9, at 6.09 p.m. To put it another way, Holika Dahan will be completed during Pradosh.

The auspicious time of Holika Dahan will start at 6.31 p.m. and last till 8.58 p.m. Numerous fortunate occurrences are happening concurrently on Holika Dahan. During this time, Holika can be worshipped. Additionally, Amrit Kaal Muhurat will be observed from 7.22 p.m. to 9.07 p.m. on this day.

You must be mindful of the fortunate timing when worshipping Holika Dahan. With flour, jaggery, and ghee, Holika Mata is worshipped. Holika is also bound with unprocessed yarn. On this day, milk-mixed water is offered to Holika Mata, believing it will soothe her sharp agony.

After the family worships Holika Mata at Holika Dahan, Holika is put on fire, and fresh wheat ears are also roasted and served as prasad. The festival of colours starts just after this, and some individuals perform at night. A few of its ashes should be taken home after the fire of Holika has cooled. Doing so prevents many issues in life, including poor vision.
