Don't make these mistakes even by mistake (Holika Dahan 2026 Don'ts)
On the night of Holika Dahan, avoid consuming white items like milk, yogurt, rice, or white sweets in public. Consuming them after sunset is considered inauspicious. Don't lend money to anyone or borrow money on the day of
Holika Dahan . It's believed that exchanging money on this day angers the Goddess Lakshmi in your home, leading to financial difficulties throughout the year.
Any puja is fruitful only if you have respect for elders. Therefore, avoid insulting your parents or other family members on this day.
According to religious beliefs, women should avoid wearing their hair loose during the Holika Dahan puja. They should always perform the puja with their hair tied.
Always use dry wood and cow dung cakes for Holika Dahan. Burning wood from sacred trees like the Peepal, Banyan, Mango, and Shami is considered a grave sin.

Circumambulate the Holika fire at least three to seven times. While circumambulating, pray for the well-being of your family.
Offer fresh harvested crops, such as wheat, gram, or barley, to the Holika fire. This will ensure a safe food supply in the home.
The next morning, apply the cooled Holika ashes as a tilak to your forehead. This is believed to protect the body from disease and the evil eye.
