Holika Dahan is on 24th March this year. The holy festival of Holi will be celebrated on 25th March. Holika Dahan is done a day before Holi. Like Holi, Holika Dahan also has great importance in Hindu religion. A few days before Holi, people gather wood, cow dung cakes and trees at one place and throw these things in the fire on the night of Holika Dahan. It is believed that by offering sacrifice in the fire of Holika Dahan, the negativity of life ends. Along with this, happiness and prosperity also remains in the family. However, it is very important to keep some things in mind during the worship of Holika Dahan. It is also said that at the time of Holika Dahan, some people should not see the fire. Let us know which people and why should not see the fire of Holika.
Newly married girls should not watch Holika Dahan.
According to beliefs, newly married girls should not see the burning Holika. It is considered inauspicious for newly married women to see Holika Dahan and worship it on the first Holi after marriage.
Why shouldn’t one see burning Holika?
Actually, there is a belief that in Holika you burn the old year and the new year starts from the next day. Holika fire is considered a symbol of burning body. Therefore, newly married women should avoid looking at the burning fire of Holika.
Pregnant women should keep this in mind
On the night of Holika Dahan, Holika is worshiped and circumambulated before handing it over to the fire, but pregnant women should not circumambulate Holika. Doing this is not good for the health of the baby in the womb.
Keep newborn babies away too
It is believed that the place where Holika Dahan is performed, there is a danger of negative powers. In such a situation, do not take the newborn child to the Holika Dahan place. Due to this the child may have to face many problems.
