Holika Dahan (Holi) in Hyderabad
Calculated coordinates: 17.3850° N, 78.4867° E | Timezone: Asia/Kolkata
🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Usually, Holika Dahan occurs in Phalguna (March), but an auspicious event on 12th August 2026 involves unique planetary alignments. On this day, Surya Dev resides in Karka Rashi while Shani Dev remains in retrograde motion in Kumbha, creating a potent energy of transformation. This period signifies shedding past negativity. In Hyderabad, the Moon’s placement in Vrishabha ensures emotional stability during this transition. To protect your family from malefic shadows, perform a simple remedy: burn a dry coconut in a small copper vessel at sunset and offer a pinch of black mustard seeds into it, chanting "Om Namah Shivaya." Stay blessed and spiritually radiant!
