Holi 2024: Things To Perform On This Night To Remove Negativity, Know Remedies

Holi 2024: Holi, known as the Festival of Colours, is a vibrant and joyous celebration deeply rooted in Hindu tradition. Observed annually on the full moon day of the Falgun month, it marks the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring. The festivities commence with Holika Dahan, where a bonfire is lit to symbolise the burning of Holika, a demoness, and the victory of virtue, while the next day is celebrated with enthusiasm as people engage in playing with colours, smearing each other with ‘gulal’ and revelling in the joyous atmosphere. 

When Will Holi Be Celebrated In 2024?

According to the Hindu Panchang, the full moon of the Falgun month will begin on the morning of March 24 at 9:54 AM and conclude on March 25 at 12:29 PM.

Therefore, Holika Dahan will be observed on March 24, Sunday, and the auspicious time for this is from 11:13 PM to 12:27 AM. Following this, Holi will be played the next day, on March 25, Monday.

Just as people desire the colours of Holi to always shine in their lives, negative energies present at home often lead to troubles. However, scriptures mention remedies that can provide relief from troubles when performed on the night of Holi. 

Remedies To Perform On Holi Night:

To get rid of negative vibes, bring the ash from the bonfire of Holika Dahan ceremony and sprinkle it around the four corners of the house. 

If you are facing financial troubles or are constantly worried about money matters, then mix some rose petals in camphor and burn them. Take this to every corner in the house. When the ash is formed, pour it into the Holika bonfire. 

At exactly 1AM on the night of Holi, light a ghee lamp under a peepal tree in a temple and go around the tree seven times. Doing so fills family life with happiness and prosperity.

If there is discord between husband and wife or if the love in marital life has diminished, then on the night of Holi, spread a white-coloured cloth under the northeast direction and place rice and lentils on it. Afterward, apply a tilak of saffron and light a ghee lamp on it. This brings back the spring of happiness in marital life.
