Holi 2025 How can celebrate dhulandi when there Death in the Family What Rules Be Followed

Holi 2025: The festival of Holi, Dhulandi or Rangotsav has been celebrated in Sanatan Dharma on the day of Phalgun Purnima since ancient times. A day before Holi, the burning of Holika of evil in the pyre of the good of the devotee Prahlad became the essence of this festival. Holi is a festival that is filled with happiness, enthusiasm and color. In this, people celebrate Holi by applying color to each other. But if someone dies at home, can we celebrate the festival of Holi? During this time, we should know which rules we should follow.

Many rules have been mentioned in the scriptures from birth to death, according to which if someone dies at home, then there is a sutak at that house and special rules have to be followed for 13 days. Along with this, there is no celebration of any festival on the house where the death dies, nor any Manglik works are done.

Let’s know what is the rule about Holi

If a member dies on the day of Holi in a family, then the festival of Holi will not be celebrated that year. But you can celebrate the festival of Holi from the next year. Usually, if a member dies on the day of the festival in other Teej festivals, then that festival is considered to be Khota and that festival is not celebrated forever. When a newborn is born at home on the same festival or the arrival of the newcomer, then again it begins to celebrate that festival. But this is not the case in Holi. Different rules have been mentioned in the scriptures regarding Holi.

When Hiranyakashyap’s family was affected by Holika’s death from death

Jyotishacharya Anish Vyas says, Hiranyakashyap’s sister Holika sat in the fire with her nephew Prahlada in the fire, despite getting a boon not to burn from Agnidev, she was burnt in the pyre. This affected Hiranyakashyap’s family to death. Holika was scheduled to get married on the day of Phalgun Purnima. But a day before that, she was burnt in fire and consumed.

This is how the purification of Hiranyakashyap’s palace

When Hiranyakashyap’s palace arrived with the palace procession to marry Holika, he was informed about Holika being consumed. As soon as Iloji heard the news of his upcoming Ardhangini’s death, he jumped into the fire with love and dear. But by then the fire had calmed down, so nothing happened to Iloji. Iloji could not understand anything and while losing his mental balance, he started spreading Holika’s ash and flying on the people. People felt that the purification of evil in the fire was purified by this ashes. Since then, after Holika Dahan, her ash and ashes are blown and people apply tilak to each other.

What to do if someone dies on Holi: If a member dies at the house any day of the year, it is believed that all the impurities are burnt to ashes with Holika Dahan. Therefore, after Holika Dahan, you can also do auspicious work and you can also celebrate the festival of Holi. But if death occurs on the day of Holi, then do not celebrate the festival of Holi that year, because the mournful family has to follow the Sutak rules for 13 days.

This is how auspicious works begin: The house is purified after Holika Dahan. A few days after this, Hindu New Year also starts, with which auspicious work starts again. Therefore, if a member in the family dies on the day of Holi, then only Holi does not happen in the same year. You can celebrate Holi from the next year. At the same time, if there is death a few days before Holi, then in such a situation you can celebrate Holi, because all the impurities in Holika’s fire ends automatically.
