The festival of Holi (Holi 2026) symbolizes happiness, colors, and new beginnings. But did you know that some old and useless things kept in the house can hinder your progress? According to Vastu Shastra and astrology, cleaning the house before Holi is not only a part of cleanliness but also a way to remove negative energy from the house.

Remove These Negative Items from the Home
1. Broken Glass and Utensils
According to Vastu Shastra, keeping broken glass, cracked mirrors, or broken utensils in the house is considered very inauspicious. Astrology states that such items cause mental stress and financial difficulties in the house. These should be the first things to be removed during Holi cleaning.

2. Stopped Clocks
Time is considered a symbol of the continuous flow. According to Vastu Shastra, a stopped clock in the house can hinder your progress. It brings stagnation and laziness to the lives of family members. If you have a clock in your house that cannot be repaired, throw it away immediately.

3. Torn Shoes and Old Clothes
We often bury old or torn shoes in the storeroom or under the bed. According to scriptures, torn shoes and slippers cause Shani Dosha and poverty. On the auspicious occasion of Holi, old filth and torn clothes should be donated or removed from the house to welcome positive energy.

4. Broken Statues and Broken Electronics
Broken statues should never be kept in the home temple. Furthermore, malfunctioning electrical appliances (such as a broken radio, faulty bulbs, or wires) also aggravate Rahu-Ketu Dosha. According to Vastu Shastra, malfunctioning electronics create conflict and discord in the home.
