Spiritual Significance

Holika Dahan 2027 commemorates the burning of the demoness Holika and the miraculous survival of devotee Prahlad. Communities build bonfires to burn away negativity and evil.

How to Celebrate in Singapore

Observing Holika Dahan in Singapore is highly auspicious. Because local timezone sunrise and moonrise times differ, follow these practices:

Align Fasting with Local Sunrise: Start your vrat precisely at sunrise in Singapore (approx 06:00 local time), rather than following Indian Standard Time.
Perform Puja during local Auspicious Hours: Make sure to perform the main rituals during local SGT evening/night windows as shown above.
Building and lighting a massive bonfire at the auspicious muhurat
Performing parikrama around the Holika fire
Offering coconut, grains, and sweets into the fire
Applying ash (vibhuti) from the Holika fire on the forehead
Singing devotional songs
