Holi 2027 Shubh Muhurat

In 2027, Holi (Dhulandi) falls on 23 March 2027 (Tuesday). This date is computed from the actual angle between the Moon and the Sun for New Delhi, not copied from a list.

How this date is fixed

Holi (Dhulandi) is not derived from a tithi of its own - it is the morning after Holika Dahan, which falls on 22 March 2027 (Monday) in 2027. Deriving it from its own sunrise tithi instead lands a day late every year.

Why the date moves each year

A Hindu festival is fixed to a tithi in a lunar month, not to a calendar date. The lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar one, so festivals drift earlier until an extra month - adhika masa - is inserted roughly every third year and they jump back.

Regional variation

This festival's rule is convention as well as astronomy, and the date can differ by a day between regions and traditions. The tithi start and end instants above are the part to check against your own local panchang.
