Holi Chandra Grahan 2025: Every year Holika Dahan is performed on the night of the full moon date of the month of Falgun, after which Holi is played the next day. This time Holika Dahan is on March 13 and the next day i.e. on March 14, 2025, Holi of colors will be celebrated. But this year Holi is under the shadow of the lunar eclipse. Let us tell you that on March 14, 2025, a lunar eclipse is going to start at 9:29 am, and will last till 3:29 pm.

But this lunar eclipse will not be visible in India, so its Sutak period will also not be valid. But according to astrologers, during the eclipse, the Moon will be in Virgo and Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. During this time, Ketu will already be in Virgo, due to which there will be a conjunction of two planets. It is believed that this conjunction is creating 'Grahan Yoga', so some tasks should be avoided during this period. In such a situation, let us know what to do and what not to do during the eclipse.
