The Holi Calendar Conundrum: Resolved

Holi, the colorful festival, is just a stone's throw away, and there has been some confusion regarding its dates. To set the record straight, Holika Dahan, or Chhoti Holi, will be observed on Thursday, March 13, 2025. This is the night before Holi and is the symbolic burning of Holika to represent the victory of good over evil. The central Rangwali Holi, or Dhulandi, will fall on Friday, March 14, 2025. That is when individuals historically play colors, indulge in celebratory foods, and welcome spring. The celebrations are likely to unite people throughout India, with a majority of states declaring public holidays between March 13 and 16.
