Shukla Paksha

Thursday, Shukla Paksha. Holika Dahan falls on this day. The tithi is Chaturdashi till morning, then Purnima begins. Chaturdashi is an intense day. Take big decisions with care. The Moon is in Purva Phalguni nakshatra till morning the next day, then Uttara Phalguni. Abhijit Muhurta (12:06 – 12:54) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (14:00 – 15:29). The Moon is in Simha rashi and the Sun in Kumbha.

Holika Dahan

After Bhadra23:27 – 00:30, 14 Mar

Bhadra covers the kaal this year, so the rite waits for Bhadra to end and is kept while the tithi still stands.

The bonfire on the eve of Holi, lit at dusk while the Phalguna Purnima stands and Bhadra has passed. It burns away the year's ill will and recalls Prahlad, whom the fire could not touch.

Also on this day

  • Chhoti Holi

    North India

    The evening of Holika Dahan is called Chhoti Holi in the north: the bonfire is lit after sunset and the colours follow the next morning.

Day at a glance

A timing system used mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and North India: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.

A South Indian tradition that splits the day and night into eight Gowri windows each — used for picking auspicious slots for everyday work.

A short-list of the seven most important windows — three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and four to avoid (Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Varjyam). Some days may show fewer if a window isn't computed.

Each day and night splits into twelve planetary hours, each ruled by a planet. The ruling planet sets the hour's tone — pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
