According to Manoptal Jha, a renowned priest from Purnia, the Holika Dahan fire not only burns evil, but its ashes and traditional rituals possess the miraculous power to protect children from the evil eye. Let's find out what the remedy is.

Holika was reduced to ashes. Pandit Ji explains that since then, the tradition has been that the ashes from Holika's sacred fire are a source of positive energy.
