28, Sunday (Holi).
Why is Holashtak unfavorable? This time of 8 days before Holi is considered ominous because planets like Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Venus are said to undergo furious changes, causing a bad impact on the lives of people, during this term.
Things to Avoid during Holashtak During this bad time of Holashtak, doing unfavorable things must be abstaining. People do not do any auspicious ceremonies like marriage, naming of a child, engagement and housewarming celebrations. And also do not starts or purchase anything new in this period like buying property, jewellery or a vehicle, making vital investments, giving an interview, taking loans and starting a new business or partnership. There is no auspicious work before the ritual of Holika Dahan. Doing so is said to bring bad luck and you do not get any good results from things started during this ominous period.
Things to Do during Holashtak The 8 days of Holashtak are considered very satisfying for doing good deeds, donating alms, helping others and doing charity. If someone dies during Holashtak, his ‘Shanti Kriya’ must be doing before incinerating the body. On the 1st day of Holashtak, people choose a crossroad (chauraha) for doing Holika Dahan, clean this place and sprinkle the Gangajal in this area and place some dried wood, grass and dung uple here. On each day of Holashtak, people collect and add dried branches and twigs, which represent negative energies. All of these are then burnt on the day of Holika Dahan. People clean their homes with Gangajal when Holashtak begins to ward off bad energies.
