Holi, one of the most revered Hindu festivals, will be celebrated across the country with much joy and enthusiasm on March 25. Meanwhile, Chhoti Holi, or Holika Dahan, will be celebrated on March 24. Holika Dahan not only has religious but also astrological implications like Bueno. This is because it brings happiness to many people, but some should avoid witnessing Holika Dahan. An astrologer Manohar Acharya named the people who should not participate in Holika Dahan. According to the astrologer, these people are newly married brides, pregnant women, parents with an only child, a newborn baby and a woman and her mother-in-law.

1. Newly married women– It is considered inauspicious for the newly married bride to watch or participate in Holika Dahan. According to popular beliefs, this can create obstacles in your goal of achieving marital happiness.

2. Pregnant women– Pregnant women should also not participate in Holika Dahan as it may harm the fetus and also cause physical problems for the mother.

3. A father with only one child– Anyone who is a father of only one child should not see Holika Dahan or worship Holika, according to the astrologer. Instead of parents, an elderly person should participate in Holika Dahan. According to beliefs, the place where Holika Dahan is performed gives the impression of a crematorium and they feel the presence of negative vibrations there.

4. Newborn baby– A newborn baby should also not be brought to the Holika Dahan place as it may be dangerous for him or her.

5. Woman and her mother-in-law– A woman and her mother-in-law must also refrain from watching the Holika Dahan because the burning of Holika is witnessed like a woman's body burning. According to popular beliefs, if Madam and her mother-in-law see Holika Dahan together, their relationship might go through a bad patch.
