Why this city matters

Pacific Canada is many hours behind India and New Zealand. Festival dates and daily periods therefore use Vancouver’s own sunrise and time zone.

How this date is selected

Holi is placed on the local civil day after the calculated Holika Dahan date. It is a calendar observance date rather than a narrow ritual-time Muhurat.

Tradition note: Temple, regional and community programmes may observe Holi on a nearby weekend, while Holika Dahan remains tied to its own tithi rules.

FAQ

Local festival questions

Why can this date differ from India?

A tithi is an astronomical interval, while sunrise and civil-date boundaries depend on location. This page uses the listed city rather than converting an Indian timetable.

Is the displayed time a compulsory puja time?

No. It is a transparent local review interval for the festival rule. Family, temple and sampradaya requirements can produce a narrower or different decision.

Does this page confirm a local temple event?

No. It gives a calculated observance guide. Always check the organiser or temple for its programme, access rules and final timings.
