Happy Holika Dahan 2023: 30+ Best WhatsApp Status Videos to Download For Free

Holika Dahan is performed by worshippers by forming a bonfire in the evening hours or early morning. This year, Holika Dahan will be performed on March 25. Here, people idolize the location where wood is gathered for smoldering Holika. The wood is covered in flowers, kumkum, and holy water, as well as wrapped three or seven times in the white thread. Also, it is a rite to roast “Hara Chana” (Chholiya) over the Holika blaze.

Here is a list of what you’ll need for Holika Dahan Puja: Broken rice (akshat), jaggery, Hara Chana (Chholiya), wheat baaliyan, ladoo, besan, gulaal, roli, flowers, Water in a glass, and a cow dung garland for decoration.

The celebration of colors transports us to Hindu mythology, whereby Hiranyakashipu exerted every effort to assassinate his son Prahlad. Prahlad was a follower of Lord Vishnu, something his evil parent Hiranyakashipu did not at all approves of. Hiranyakashipu made many attempts to murder Prahlad but was always unsuccessful. To prevent Prahlad from being killed, Holika, Prahlad’s aunt as well as Hiranyakashipu’s sister, interfered. Holika was tricked into sitting by a fire without Prahlad on her lap in their trap.

With the mercy of One of the three main lords, Vishnu, Prahlad was spared harm although Holika was killed by burning. Thus, the initial day of Holi is observed as Holika Dahan, in which a bonfire is lighted to symbolize the triumph of right over wrong.

Holi Puja must be conducted inside the Shubh Mahurat, and the procedures must be carried out correctly, according to the Drik Panchang. On Holika Dahan, it is advisable to fast or consume only sattvic foods. To make the location where Holika Dahan is to be conducted pure and ritual-ready, one should cover it with cow manure and holy water again from the Ganges. It is believed that lighting and positioning a ghee lamp in the northern direction of the home will bring pleasure and wealth.
