This year the festival of colors, Holi, will be celebrated on March 14. But, Holashtak starts 8 days before that. Holashtak has great importance in Hinduism. Holashtak is the time, which starts eight days before the Holi festival.
This year Holashtak is starting from Friday, March 7, 2025. It will end with Holika Dahan on Thursday, March 13, 2025. It is believed that no auspicious work like marriage, engagement, mundan and other religious rituals should be done during this time.
It is believed that auspicious work also becomes futile during this time. It starts every year on the Ashtami date of Shukla Paksha of Falgun month.
When is Holi and Holika Dahan
According to the Panchang, the full moon date of the month of Falgun will start on March 13, 2025 at 10:35 am. It will end the next day i.e. on March 14, 2025 at 12:23 pm.
According to the Panchang, Holika Dahan will be done on March 13, 2025. The auspicious time of Holika Dahan will be from 11:26 pm to 12:29 am the next day on March 14.
Why auspicious works are not done during Holashtak
According to astrology, it is believed that all the eight planets become inauspicious during Holashtak. Therefore, the position of the planets during this time is not favorable for auspicious works. If any kind of auspicious work is done during this time, then there are obstacles in them, as well as they are not successful. This is the reason why people avoid doing any good work at this time.
