Why is Holi on Fri 29 Mar?
In New Delhi
Holi is on Fri 29 Mar: Pratipada holds sunrise that day.
Pratipada at sunrise, 06:15. Pratipada: 23:54 Thu to 20:05.
Pratipada ended at 20:05 Fri; sunrise at 06:14 is Dwitiya.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Holi follows the tithi at sunrise. Pratipada runs from 23:54 on Thu 28 Mar to 20:05 on Fri 29 Mar, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 29 Mar, at 06:15.
The rule
Chaitra Krishna Pratipada (purnimanta) · Phalguna Krishna Pratipada (amanta)
Holi follows the tithi at sunrise.
- Smarta
- the day Pratipada holds at sunrise; over two sunrises, the first; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
