Abhinav Kumar/Darbhanga: Holi Festival Celebrations
The festival of colors, Holi, is a time when people forget all differences and come together to celebrate by applying colored powders on each other. Every year, Holi is celebrated at the beginning of the Chaitra month after the full moon of the Falgun month. This year, Holika Dahan is on March 24th, followed by the celebration of Holi the next day. However, there has been confusion among people about whether Holi falls on March 25th or 26th.
Holi Celebrations and Rituals
Holi holds special significance in the Sanatan Dharma, where people come together to celebrate the festival by applying colors and sharing the joy of friendship and brotherhood. The festival is marked by various rituals, including the bathing of deities, offering of prayers, and the application of colored powders. Jankapuri Parikrama also concludes on this day. According to Dr. Kunal Kumar Jha, the head of the astrology department, Holika Dahan will be observed on March 26th.
