For happiness and peace, on the day of Dhulendi, use Holika Dahan's ashes like this:
On the day of Holi, after cleaning the courtyard of the house, a square shape should be made there and Kamadeva should be worshipped in the middle of it. Then the women of the house should apply sandalwood paste on the idol of Kaamdev and pray to Kaamadev. Along with this, donations should be made to Brahmins and the needy. Eating mango blossom mixed with sandalwood paste is also considered lucky.
It is also believed that donning the ashes of Holi and worshipping soil is lucky? There is also a tradition of bathing with mud. Along with this, before bathing on the day of Holi, mud should be applied to the body and after sometime bath should be taken.
Keep Holika Dahan's ashes in this direction
According to Vastu Shastra, after Holi Dahan, the ashes should be brought home and kept in the south-east direction of the house. Because the igneous angle is related to the element of fire and ash is also formed only after burning fire. By keeping the ashes of Holi in this direction, you will get profit in business. You will progress in life and you will have good relations with the elder daughter of the house.
