Phulera Dooj holds special significance in Krishna temples, especially in Mathura and Vrindavan, where special darshan is arranged. These celebrations depict Lord Krishna’s preparations for Holi, symbolizing joy, devotion, and divine love.
The day is often associated with playfulness and festivity, as it is believed that Lord Krishna and Radha engage in Holi-like celebrations, marking the arrival of spring with floral decorations and devotional songs.
Phulera Dooj and Its Astrological Importance
Astrologically, Phulera Dooj is considered a day free from Doshas or inauspicious planetary influences. Many believe that on this day, no specific Muhurat (auspicious timing) is required for conducting wedding ceremonies and other sacred events. However, this perspective is debated among astrologers, and some may not list Phulera Dooj as a universally auspicious day for marriage.

On March 1, 2025, devotees will once again come together to celebrate this joyful occasion, immersing themselves in divine love and devotion.
