Holi 2027 is one of the most awaited Hindu festivals, symbolizing colors, joy, unity, and the victory of good over evil. Every year, people often get confused about the exact date of Holi, especially when it falls close to a tithi transition. In 2027, many are asking: Will Holi be on 21st or 22nd March?
Here is the complete and correct guide to Holi 2027, including Holika Dahan date, regional celebrations, calendar details and answers to common questions.
Holi 2027 Date in India (Correct & Confirmed)

- Rangwali Holi (Dhulandi): Monday, 22 March 2027
So, the main day of Holi in 2027 is 22 March, not 21 March. Holika Dahan is performed one day before Rangwali Holi, following Hindu Panchang calculations.

According to the Hindu Panchang:
- Purnima Tithi Begins: 21 March 2027 at 6:21 PM

Holika Dahan represents the victory of devotion and truth over evil, based on the legend of Bhakta Prahlad and Holika. Bonfires are lit to symbolize the destruction of evil.
