What the day is
The fire the night before the colour. Holika burns and the child does not — the tradition puts the destruction of malice before the celebration, in that order, on purpose.
How to keep Holika Dahan · Holi
One act for the day
Write down one resentment you have been feeding and burn it in the fire. Then play, and let yourself be unrecognisable for a day.
The day, for Kolkata
The day is chosen by the moment the tradition reads its tithi at, and the times are that day's own, computed for this city. A festival-specific puja window is not printed: those rules differ by tradition and await a scholar's review.
