Holashtak begins on March 7 and lasts until Holika Dahan on March 13, marking eight days from Falgun Shukla Ashtami to Purnima. Traditionally, no auspicious events are carried out during this time, as it is considered an inauspicious period due to the various tortures endured by the Lord Vishnu devotee Prahlada.

In 2025, Holashtak may bring challenges for people of five specific zodiac signs. According to astrologer Dr Krishna Kumar Bhargava from Tirupati, here’s what these signs can expect:
