Holi 2025, the vibrant and joyous Festival of Colours, will be celebrated with great enthusiasm across India and beyond. According to Drik Panchang, Holika Dahan will be observed on the evening of Thursday, March 13, 2025, while the colourful festivities will take place on Friday, March 14, 2025.
Holika Dahan and Its Significance
Holika Dahan, also known as Chhoti Holi or Jalawali Holi, is celebrated on the first evening of Holi. During this ritual, people light a bonfire symbolizing the victory of good over evil. Devotees gather around the fire, performing prayers and rituals to seek blessings for prosperity and happiness.
The tradition of Holika Dahan originates from the mythological tale of Hiranyakashyap, a demon king who tried to kill his devout son, Prahlad. With the help of his sister, Holika, they attempted to burn Prahlad alive. However, Prahlad’s unwavering devotion to Lord Vishnu protected him, while Holika was consumed by the flames. This tale symbolizes the power of faith and righteousness, making Holika Dahan a key spiritual event.

The second day of Holi is known as Rangwali Holi or Dhulandi. On this day, people play with dry gulaal, watercolours, and enjoy festive music and dance. It is a time of unity, where friends and families gather to celebrate joy and harmony.
