March is here, which means the sun is finally out with a vengeance, the heavy winter sweaters are permanently shoved deep into the bed boxes, and the local street markets look like a unicorn exploded. Yes, Holi 2026 is officially upon us. With Rangwali Holi falling on Wednesday, March 4th this year, we are practically staring down the barrel of an epic mid-week color fest.Think about it. By Tuesday night, after Holika Dahan, you’ve probably already mentally checked out of your job. You are busy curating the ultimate courtyard playlist. But there is one tiny, slightly exhausting ritual we all have to get through before the actual fun begins: The great morning message flood.
