Donating food, clothes and other essential material to the needy holds religious importance in our culture. However, not everything is meant to be donated. Yes, you read it right. If you donate things like books or used clothes, you are indirectly opening doors to omens and bad luck. So, especially for you, we have breakdown the items one should never donate on Holi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Books<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Donating books and copies is one of the nicest ways to serve humanity. Right? But according to the Vastu Shastra, one should not donate used books and copies to others. This is because we are not just donating old books and notebooks but also giving away the knowledge and intelligence we have developed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46470\" src=\"https:\/\/cfblog.instaastro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02193027\/Books-300x254.jpg\" alt=\"Books\" width=\"615\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cfblog.instaastro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02193027\/Books-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cfblog.instaastro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02193027\/Books-150x127.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cfblog.instaastro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/02193027\/Books.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Utensils\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Besides clothes and food, people often donate steel utensils to the poor on Holi festival rituals.

We usually habitually donate clothes to the poor and needy once they get old. Nothing seems wrong in donating our clothes to the poor. Right?
