Holi 2025 Shubh Muhurat: Date and Time 

Holi is especially grand in the Braj region, which includes Mathura, Vrindavan, Govardhan, Gokul, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places are closely associated with Lord Krishna’s life, making their Holi celebrations unique and vibrant. The Lathmar Holi of Barsana, where women playfully hit men with sticks, is world-famous and attracts thousands of visitors each year.

Holika Dahan Rituals

Holika Dahan takes place in the evening after sunset at the Shubh Muhurat (auspicious time). People gather around the bonfire, perform prayers, and offer grains and coconut to the fire, seeking protection from evil forces.

Playing with Colors

On Rangwali Holi, people throw colored powders (Gulal) and spray colored water on each other. Some prefer dry colors, while others enjoy drenching friends and family in buckets of colored water. Holi is a time of joy, where social barriers dissolve, and people come together in celebration.

Holi 2025 will be celebrated with enthusiasm across India and beyond. Whether through the traditional rituals of Holika Dahan or the playful colors of Rangwali Holi, this festival continues to bring joy, unity, and cultural vibrancy to millions of people.
