As the festival of Holi approaches, excitement can be felt in the air. As warm and intense as the spirit of the festival is, the festival will be that much more enjoyable for each one of us if we take a responsible approach while celebrating. For prospective homebuyers and current homeowners as well, there are many suggestions by both Vastu and Astrology on what to do and what not to do.
The tradition of not celebrating Holi in a new house is associated with certain religious and cultural beliefs. Though this tradition is not the same everywhere, there are some reasons why people avoid celebrating Holi in a new house:
Purification of the house
It is considered important to take care of the purification and Vastu (Vastu) of the house for some time in the new house. A festival like Holi involves the use of colors and gulaal, which can affect the purity and negative energy of the house. Therefore, some people try to maintain the purity and positive energy of the first house by not celebrating Holi in the new house.
Protection from negative energy
Some religious beliefs believe that during Holi, there is a spread of colors and mud, which can attract negative energy to the new house. To keep this away, people try to keep it safe and pure by not celebrating Holi in the new house.
Common Traditions
In some areas, there is a tradition that until the new house is completely settled and all the mental and physical atmosphere of the house is calm, big festivals, such as Holi, should not be celebrated. This tradition is to maintain positivity in the house.
Prior Puja and Griha Pravesh
Before entering the new house, people perform Puja and Vastu Shuddhikaran of the house. Only after that, festivals and happiness enjoyed. During this time, the use of colors like Holi can disturb the sanctity of the house, so people celebrate Holi only after first performing Puja and completing the purification of the house.
However, these traditions are not the same everywhere, and many people celebrate Holi in the new house as well, especially when the house is fully prepared and people are happy. If you have any doubts about this, you can consult astrologer.
