The vibrant festival of Holi arrives on March 4, 2026, and soon, homes will buzz with laughter and colour. Before the celebrations, however, Vastu Shastra says it’s vital to get rid of 'bad vibes' to invite wealth and harmony.
Acharya Devansh Trivedi, a Vastu Consultant and Spiritual Life Coach, says you must remove certain things from your home before Holi to create a peaceful environment. He explains, ‘Cleaning up old and useless objects helps you symbolically remove problems and make way for growth and prosperity.’
Vastu experts suggest you remove these four things from your home before Holi:
Get rid of worn-out shoes and slippers because they are said to hold on to negative energy. In Vastu, keeping these items might slow down your money flow. Removing damaged footwear before Holi will clear the blockages in your financial life and welcome new opportunities.
A broken mirror is very unlucky in Vastu. It can upset your mental peace, reduce your confidence, and create unnecessary family tension. People believe that removing a broken mirror from your home before Holi will bring back balance and calmness to your emotional life.
Broken or unused electronic items create clutter and stop positive energy from moving freely. Vastu Shastra states that malfunctioning electronics block the flow of positivity and represent stagnation. Removing non-working electronic items before Holi brings fresh beginnings and vibrant energy.
You should not keep broken or chipped idols at home. Vastu experts suggest you respectfully immerse the damaged idol in running water before Holi, if local traditions allow. This action restores spiritual harmony and peace in your house.

Besides decluttering, adding certain items to your home can attract prosperity and peace.
Gifting and bringing home an idol or photo of Radha-Krishna is very lucky. Place this idol or photo in your bedroom or prayer room and offer 'abir' and 'gulal' before bringing it inside your house. This ritual relates to love and is believed to strengthen marital bonds.
If you are constantly having problems at work, hang a picture or painting of the rising sun on the eastern wall of your home or office. In Vastu Shastra, the east symbolises new opportunities and growth. This is believed to boost your career and progress.
Indoor plants like the tulsi plant, money plant, or snake plant purify the air and improve your mood. They help balance the negative energies of various planets in your home, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Plants renew a space, and adding them for Holi symbolises vitality.
The flag on your roof stands for honour and protection. Vastu Shastra says that changing the flag on the roof on Holi will be a good omen. It will protect your home and family and also increase your honour.
People say every good beginning must start with a prayer to Lord Ganesha. Performing a puja to Ganesha and offering 'thandai' as prasad on Holi will help you. It will clear your path and welcome wealth into your life.
Combining the cleaning rituals of decluttering with these lucky remedies will make your Holi 2026 a truly blissful celebration.
