When is Holi? 2027 date

Holi dates (2026–2028)

Dates are calculated astronomically from sunrise and sunset in New Delhi. In other cities the tithi timing can occasionally move the festival to another day; confirm with your local panchang or Pandit Ji for the final decision.

Holi — what it is

Holi welcomes spring and celebrates the victory of good over evil and the joy of meeting people. The first evening is Holika Dahan, whose story is tied to the devotee Prahlada; the next day is Rangwali Holi, played with colours and gulal.

Tithi: Holika Dahan is lit on the evening of Phalguna Purnima, and Rangwali Holi, the day of colours, follows the next day (Pratipada).

Things to keep in mind

The two dates fall on different days, so check Holika Dahan and Rangwali Holi separately. Holika Dahan is done in the pradosh period and tradition avoids Bhadra, so check your own city’s panchang.
