Holi 2022
The time has come to praise one of the most colourful celebrations of the year — Holi. We see a question that is making rounds regarding the date of the festival. That is confusion between dates March 17 and March 18, 2022.
As per the Hindu calendar, the Holi festival begins in Purnima’s evening, which falls in the long stretch of Phalguna. The festival starts with Choti Holi or Holika Dahan, followed by Dhulendi or Holi. Thus, this year, Holi will be celebrated on March 18, 2022. To celebrate this festival, it is vital to know the specific timings for the Holi puja.
Holi’s Date by India’s Lunar Calendar
As indicated by the Hindu Dates and Shubh Muhurat schedule, the celebration of Holi is commended on the full moon day of Phalgun (its twelfth lunar month). The date changes every year. The Gregorian calendar observes it in late February or early March.
The Holi Purnima tithi (full moon lunar Dates and Shubh Muhurat) in 2022 is from 13:29 on March 17 to 12:47 on March 18, and the Holika Dahan ceremonies should be finished during this lunar day. The specific time (muhurat) for Holika Dahan is from 21:20 to 22:31 on March 17, 2022.
