The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
Holi — Rangwali Holi, the day of colours — follows the Holika bonfire and celebrates the arrival of spring and the loves of Krishna and Radha. Its date always trails Holika Dahan by exactly one day.
How it is observed
The morning is spent throwing dry gulal and coloured water in the street, a day on which caste, age and formality are suspended by custom. Sweets, thandai and gujiya follow in the afternoon.
