Holika Dahan Puja Rituals: To be celebrated on 03 March 2026 Holika Dahan Circumambulation of fire has special religious and spiritual significance during the festival. Fire is considered the face of the gods in Hinduism and is considered the greatest symbol of purity. Circumambulating the sacred fire of Holika Dahan is not just a tradition but a symbol of burning away the negative energy within oneself and starting a new and positive life. It is believed that by doing parikrama, a person’s known and unknown sins are destroyed and the blessings of Lord Vishnu remain intact. Let us know why Parikrama is done and what materials you will need for this puja.
According to religious beliefs, walking around the Holika Dahan fire three or seven times is not just a ritual but a way to get blessings of happiness and good health. Spiritually speaking, doing Parikrama means connecting yourself with the positive energy of God. At the same time, from the scientific point of view also, in this changing season, the heat of fire proves helpful in eliminating impurities from the body. Chanting ‘Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay’ with a calm mind during parikrama gives us mental peace and ease. It is believed that every prayer made with a true heart in front of this sacred fire reaches God, thereby paving the way for new happiness in life.
