Holika Dahan marks the victory of good over evil and is celebrated a day before Holi. It symbolises the burning of negativity, ego, obstacles and karmic blockages from one’s life.
In 2026, Holika Dahan holds special astrological significance as planetary alignments during this time influence emotional, financial, and spiritual energies.
Holika Dahan is based on the story of Prahlad and Holika, symbolizing the following:
*Victory of faith over fear

*Spiritual purification
Astrologically, this is a powerful time to:
*Burn past negativity
*Remove Rahu-Ketu disturbances
*Reduce Shani dosha effects
