News Topical, Digital Desk : According to the Hindu calendar, Bhadra is considered a special time, prohibited for auspicious activities. In astrology, Bhadra is considered a living entity, with different body parts having different effects. Especially during Holika Dahan, it is very important to consider the 'Bhadra Mukh' and 'Bhadra Poonch'. Any auspicious work done during the Bhadra Mukha can have disastrous consequences, while certain actions are permitted during the Bhadra Poonchha. Burning without understanding this subtle calculation can be disastrous for society and the family.

What is Bhadra mouth and Bhadra tail?

According to astrological calculations, when Bhadra begins, it is seen as a body. Its beginning is called the "Bhadra mouth," and the end is called the "Bhadra tail." According to scriptures, fire resides in the mouth of Bhadra, so burning Holika during this time is likely to spread misery and unrest.

Meanwhile, the tail of Bhadra is considered less harmful than its face. If time is short and the full moon date is ending quickly, scholars recommend burning the fire during the tail of Bhadra to ensure successful worship.

Its importance in Holika Dahan

The most ideal time for Holika Dahan is when Bhadra has completely ended. If Bhadra is still in effect, they wait for the "Bhadra-free Pradosh period." The effects of Bhadra Mukha are considered so severe that worship performed during this time can hinder the home's prosperity.

Looking at the situation on March 3, 2026, it is a matter of relief that Bhadra will not have any effect in the evening. Bhadra will begin late at night on March 4th at 1:25 AM. Therefore, worship can be performed comfortably during the evening Pradosh period, which is a sure sign of auspicious planetary results.

Planetary positions and preventive measures

During the Bhadra period , negative energy is more prevalent, which can increase mental stress. During this time, one should avoid any conflict and only chant mantras. If Bhadra prevents the cremation time from being available, the Bhadra Poonch time is determined with the help of astrologers.

Properly timed burning not only appeases the fire god but also helps in the proper functioning of your life. Meditation is the best way to maintain positive energy during this time.

The result of faith and the right time

Following the scriptures is not just a tradition, but a way to discipline one's life. When we burn Holika while keeping the Bhadra face and tail in mind, the fire has the power to destroy all obstacles in our lives. This year, since Bhadra falls at night, the evening time is especially auspicious.

With the blessings of Mahadev, worship performed at the right time increases the chances of bringing happiness and prosperity to your family. This adherence to the rules brings us closer to God and enhances the joy of the festival.
