The great festival of colors, Holi, is just a few days away. In Hinduism, Holika Dahan symbolizes the victory of good over evil, with Holi celebrated the following day. This year, Holi will be celebrated with great enthusiasm on March 14.
It is believed that bringing certain items into your home during Holi is auspicious, promoting happiness and warding off troubles. Here are some items considered beneficial to bring home on the day of Holi:
Silver Coin
Purchasing a silver coin before Holi is considered very auspicious. It is recommended to keep the coin tied in a red cloth at your place of worship or in a safe. This practice is believed to attract the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and alleviate financial issues.
Metal Tortoise
According to Vastu Shastra, bringing a metal tortoise into your home is also auspicious. The tortoise is associated with Lord Vishnu and is thought to bring good fortune. Ensure that the tortoise has a Kubera or Shriyantra engraved on its back for added blessings.
Idol of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi
Bringing home an idol or picture of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu before Holi is believed to invite happiness and prosperity. Additionally, it is said to dispel negativity from the household.
Bamboo Plant
A bamboo plant is considered very auspicious if brought home before Holi. It is important to have either seven or eleven sticks, as this configuration is thought to attract good luck.
Tulsi Plant
The Tulsi plant holds significant importance in Hinduism. Bringing it home before Holi is not only believed to invite the blessings of the gods and goddesses but also has positive effects on health. It is said to enhance the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi as well.
As you prepare for the vibrant celebrations of Holi, consider these auspicious items to enhance your festivities!
