Hindu Calendar March 2025: For Hindus, March 2025 is a month of great spiritual significance, with numerous festivals, fasting days and auspicious events. Spring has arrived in India this month, bringing with it festivities, joy and religious observances. Numerous festivals have profound cultural and spiritual meanings, ranging from Gudi Padwa, which celebrates the Hindu New Year in Maharashtra, to Holi, the festival of colours.

One of the liveliest Hindu holidays, Holi, will be joyfully observed as a celebration of the victory of good over evil and the coming of warmer weather. Chaitra Navratri, a holy nine-day celebration honouring Goddess Durga that is marked by fasting and devotion, starts shortly after Holi. Other significant dates that are regarded as extremely auspicious for prayers and rituals include Pradosh Vrat, Amavasya (New Moon), Purnima (Full Moon) and Papmochani Ekadashi.

In March, many regions celebrate the Hindu New Year under different names. For example, Maharashtra celebrates Gudi Padwa, while Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana celebrate Ugadi. These holidays symbolise fresh starts, wealth and joy.
