Sir,
Pl. tell me that whether purchase of new clothes should also be avoided during Holashtak period?
Sir,
Pl. also tell me that if anyone gift new clothes and material to us during Holashtak period that should be accepted or not?
Holashtak is not good for doing any auspicious events like purchase of land, house, marriage ceremony, partnerships etc. It is not good for puja for any “Manokaamna”. Like puja for early marriage etc. If someone gifts you something or you gift there is no issue. If somebody birthday is during this period, it is not that you will not celebrate.
Blessings,
Navneet
