Holi festival and house cleaning

New Delhi: Holi, the festival of colors, is near and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. Holika Dahan will take place on March 3, while the main day of playing colors is on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Like every festival, there is a tradition of cleaning the house before Holi, but Vastushastra makes it more important. Some objects in the house transmit negative energy, which hinders happiness. By removing these, we not only clean the house but also bring positive changes in our lives. Come, let us know in detail.

Do not keep broken things in the house

According to Vastu, on an auspicious occasion like Holi, the first thing one should do is take out broken items. Be it broken utensils, slippers or any piece of furniture, they all attract negative energy. Their presence disrupts the environment of the house and hinders the flow of positive energy. Throw them in the garbage or recycle them before the festival. By doing this, freshness and happiness will be felt in every corner of the house.

Beware of stopped clock and broken glass

If there is any stopped or broken clock in the house, take it out immediately. Flow of time is considered important in Vastu and a stopped clock brings stagnation in life. Similarly, a broken mirror multiplies negativity as it scatters energy. It is very important to remove these two from the house before Holi. This not only removes Vaastu defects but also increases progress and harmony in the family.

Remove broken idols from puja room

Broken or broken idols kept at the place of worship can become the biggest source of negative energy in the house. People often keep them at home waiting to be immersed in the holy river, but this spoils the vibrations. Before Holi, float them in a river or holy place. This will infuse divine energy into the puja room and the Vaastu of the house will remain balanced.

Focus on other negative items

Many times, old, torn or unused things get accumulated in the house, which are not considered good as per Vastu. These include old clothes, dried plants or damaged electronic items. Take them out also in preparation for Holi. If you sprinkle Ganga water along with cleaning, the negativity will be completely removed. This will increase the flow of positive energy in the house and the fun of the festival will be doubled.

There will be positive changes in life

These small precautions completely change the atmosphere of the house. Vastu experts believe that such cleaning before the festival not only removes negativity but also begins a new phase of happiness and prosperity. Along with the colors of Holi, there will be new brightness in life too. This time try adopting these tips, you will feel the difference yourself.
