Holika Dahan is one of the most significant Hindu festivals, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. According to Nirnaya Sindhu, based on Nirnayamrit and Jyotirnibandh, Holika Dahan should be performed on Phalguna Purnima during Pradosh Kaal. Performing Holika Dahan during Bhadra Kaal is considered highly inauspicious and may bring misfortune. Scriptures state that Bhadra on Shravan Purnima destroys kings, while Bhadra on Phalguna Purnima causes destruction to cities and nations.
