Holashtak 2024, an eight-day period considered inauspicious for marriages and other events, has begun on March 17, 2024, and will last until March 24, 2024. This period leads up to Holika Dahan, which will be observed on March 24, 2024. The festival of Holi, a vibrant celebration of colours, will follow on March 25, 2024. Netizens have taken to social media to share informative tweets explaining the significance of this Holashtak 2024 period and why it is considered inauspicious for certain events like marriage, engagement, mundan, inauguration of new office or housewarming, purchase of new vehicle and many other auspicious activities. As per Hindu scriptures, King Hiranyakashipu subjected his son Prahlad to torment during an eight-day period in an attempt to deter him from his devotion to Lord Vishnu. Holika, Hiranyakashipu’s sister, possessed a boon that made her immune to fire. On the day of Holika Dahan, she took Prahlad into her lap and sat in a fire, intending to harm him. However, she was the one who got burnt while Prahlad, the devotee, was saved by the grace of Lord Vishnu. This is why these eight days are considered inauspicious for conducting any propitious activities. Holashtak 2020 Date: Significance of Inauspicious Eight-Day Observance Before Holi.
