If you want to fulfill any wish, then during the burning Holi, take 3 Gomti Chakras in your hand, recite your wish 21 times, put all three Gomti Chakras in the fire and return after paying obeisance to the fire.
According to religious beliefs, if a person keeps ashes in a silver box at home, then many of his obstacles are automatically removed. To remove obstacles in your work, fill a four-sided lamp made of flour with mustard oil, add some black sesame seeds, a batasha, vermillion and a copper coin and burn it with the fire of Holi. Now take this lamp off the head of the afflicted person of the house and place it at a deserted intersection and without turning back come back and wash your hands and feet and enter the house.

He fired the arrow of love and Lord Shiva’s penance was broken. Lord Shiva got very angry and opened his third eye. Kamadeva’s body was burnt to ashes in the flame of his anger. Then Lord Shiva saw Parvati. The worship of Parvati was successful and Lord Shiva accepted her as his wife.
