Holika Dahan dates

Computed year by year from the Moon and the Sun. Each row shows the tithi the festival sits on and the lunar month in both the amanta and purnimanta reckonings, because the two name the same month differently during krishna paksha.

Also called: Chhoti Holi, Holika Deepak

The rule

What the date is derived from, stated so you can check it.

Phalguna Purnima, lit at pradosh after sunset. Traditional practice also avoids Bhadra, which this page reports separately rather than folding into the date.

The day is settled by the tithi at pradosh, just after sunset.
