Holi Chandra Grahan 2025: In the year 2025, Holi will be celebrated on March 14, but this time Holi will also be associated with the astronomical event of lunar eclipse. On the day of Holi, March 14, 2025, there will be a lunar eclipse from 9:29 am to 3:29 pm. However, this eclipse will not be visible in India, so no Sutak period will be applicable and there is no prohibition in playing Holi colors.
The lunar eclipse will occur on the night of Falgun Purnima and the next day Holi full of colors will be celebrated. During this time the Moon will be in Kanya Rashi and Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra, and at the same time the effect of Ketu will create an eclipse, which is not considered auspicious according to the scriptures.
