Holi & Dhuleti 2027 in Ahmedabad: Parties & Events

Holi 2027 falls on Sunday 21 March, when Holika Dahan bonfires are lit in the evening, and Dhuleti, the day of colours, follows on Monday 22 March. That makes it a long weekend, and Ahmedabad's ticketed Holi parties usually spread across the Saturday, Sunday and Monday. In Gujarat the two days have distinct characters. On Holi evening every housing society, pol and village lights its own bonfire, and people walk around it offering coconut, dhani (popped sorghum) and dates. Dhuleti morning is for colour. Organised parties with DJs, rain dances, organic gulal and food stalls are held at club lawns, resorts, water parks and party plots along SG Highway, the Sardar Patel Ring Road and in Shela, and none of them serve alcohol, as Gujarat is a dry state. Swaminarayan temples, including the one at Kalupur, celebrate Fuldol with flowers and colour, and many societies hold their own Dhuleti gatherings with music and a shared lunch. By late March daytime temperatures are already in the high thirties, so most events run from about 9 am to early afternoon. This page lists Holi parties, colour festivals and Dhuleti events in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
