How Holi and Holika Dahan is celebrated
On the full-moon night, the Holika bonfire is lit after sunset, avoiding Bhadra. The next morning is Holi, the festival of colours, when people play with gulal and water and share gujiya and thandai. When Bhadra covers the whole evening, as in 2027, many families light the fire in Bhadra Punchha (the last part of Bhadra) or follow their local temple's time.
