Holika Dahan 2026 – Clear Confusion (Eclipse + Bhadra Explained)

Many people are confused this year because:
– Lunar Eclipse is around Holi
– Bhadra Karana is present
– Nakshatra is changing

Let me simplify it 👇

✅ Correct Date: 2nd March 2026 (Evening)
Holika Dahan should always be done on Poornima Sainkaal (evening of full moon).
Even though Poornima touches 2nd–3rd March, due to eclipse 9 hrs of sutak consideration, 2nd March evening is better.

🌙 Nakshatra:
Moon shifts from Ashlesha to Magha.
Magha is fire-oriented, powerful and suitable for Agni rituals.
So this actually supports Holika Dahan.

⚠️ Bhadra Karana starts around 5:28 PM (city dependent).
But we check where Bhadra head & tail are placed.
During the main muhurat, Bhadra is in Patal Lok, which is acceptable for this ritual.

🕯 Best Time for Holika Dahan:
👉 6:22 PM – 8:53 PM

💎 Most precise window:
👉 Venus Hora: 6:05 PM – 7:06 PM

🏠 For home Holi poojan (before dahan):
👉 Guru Hora: 3:10 PM – 4:08 PM

So no need to panic.
Proper calculation clearly shows 2nd March evening is correct.
