Significance

Holi marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of devotion over evil — the burning of Holika and the protection of Prahlad by Vishnu. In Krishna tradition, Holi celebrates the playful colour-throwing between Krishna and Radha in Vrindavan.

Astrological observance rule

Holi is observed on the civil day where Phalguna Shukla Purnima is present at sunrise — the day after the previous evening's Holika Dahan (which itself is performed during Pradosha Kala on the Purnima).

Rituals & observance

  • Holika Dahan: bonfire on Purnima evening, casting away ill-will
  • Play with colours (gulal) and water on Holi day
  • Sweets: gujiya, malpua, thandai
