Holi 2026: Lunar Eclipse & Bhadra Cause Confusion, Know the Correct Date!

• Confusion surrounds Holi 2026 due to a lunar eclipse and Bhadra conjunction.
• Ujjain almanac suggests Holika Dahan on March 2, Holi on March 3.
• Kashi scholars and Deoghar astrologers recommend Holika Dahan on March 2, but Holi on March 4.
• A total lunar eclipse on March 3 (Phalguna Purnima) from 3:19 PM to 6:47 PM makes playing Holi inauspicious on that day.
• Astrologers advise celebrating Holi on March 4, 2026, after the eclipse, for an auspicious and scripturally compliant celebration.
