When is Holi 2027?
Holi 2027 is on Tuesday, March 23, 2027. In India it falls on the day after the full moon (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Phalguna, usually in March, so the date moves from year to year; the dates below come from published calendars. The 2028 date is Saturday, March 11.
Date may vary. Holi follows the Hindu lunisolar calendar, and local panchangs can differ by a day.

About Holi
Holi, the Hindu festival of colours, marks the end of winter. It starts the night before with Holika Dahan, when people light bonfires to mark the story of Prahlad, who was saved from the fire while his aunt Holika burned. The next morning is Rangwali Holi, or Dhulandi. People throw gulal powder and coloured water at friends, family and strangers, and kids use pichkari water guns and balloons.
The colour play mostly happens in the morning. After that people wash up, change and visit relatives with sweets such as gujiya, often with thandai to drink. Banks close for it in most Indian states, going by the RBI holiday list, though not in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu or Kerala. Nepal has a public holiday as well.

About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 156. Today is left out and March 23 itself is counted, so on Monday, March 22 the page will show 1 day to go. US clocks go back on Sunday, November 1 and forward again on Sunday, March 14, 2027, which changes the hours but not the number of days.
In Excel or Google Sheets, =DATE(2027,3,23)-TODAY() gives the same 156 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This countdown to Holi 2027 was worked out on Sunday, October 18, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
