Holi Vastu Tips 2026 – Holi isn’t just a festival of colours; it’s an opportunity to win hearts, erase past bitterness and make a fresh start. On the first day of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of Chaitra month, when the world is awash in colors, the energy around us is incredibly special.
According to Vastu Shastra, small changes made on this day can permanently ward off the evil eye and conflicts from your home. According to Rishikesh-based astrologer Akhilesh Pandey, doing these three simple things early in the morning, before the rush of playing with colors, will ensure positivity in your home throughout the year.
Purifying the Main Gate: Goddess Lakshmi will be welcomed
The main door of a home is considered the most important in Vastu. After bathing on the morning of Holi, first take Ganga water in a pot and sprinkle it on your main door. Ganga water not only symbolizes purity but also eliminates negative energy from the home.
Pro tip: After sprinkling, make a ‘swastika’ on the door with turmeric or gulal. This is a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity, inviting happiness into your home.
Holika Dahan Ashes: A Shield of Protection
Holika ashes symbolize the victory of good over evil. It is believed that these ashes have the miraculous power to destroy negative forces.
What to do? On the morning of Holi, bring some ashes from the Holika Dahan site and apply it as a tilak on the foreheads of family members.
Benefits: Doing this removes evil eye and brings mental peace. Some people also sprinkle this ash in the corners of the house to prevent any negative forces from entering.
Blessings of Elders: The First Step to Success
In today’s hectic life, we are forgetting our traditions, but this remedy is the most effective. Before sharing colors with an outsider, start with the elders in your family.
Offer colors to God first.
Then touch the feet of your parents and elders, apply gulal (coloured powder) to them, and seek their blessings. Why is this important? It is believed that the blessings of elders have the power to avert even the biggest obstacles in life and bring success to your pending tasks.
Do these remedies really work?
According to religious and Vaastu beliefs, mass energy is very high during festivals. Auspicious deeds performed during these times promote mental peace and family unity through the placebo effect and spiritual belief. The scientific reasoning behind the use of Ganga water and turmeric is their anti-bacterial properties.
