Hari Har Puja will eliminate all the sins
Hari-Har puja should be done on the day of Holika Dahan. Hari means Lord Vishnu and Har means Shiva. Prahlad’s life was saved only because of his devotion to Vishnu on the full moon day of Phalgun month. Since then, every year on Phalgun Purnima, the tradition of worshiping Vishnu along with Holika Dahan is going on. But at the same time, by worshiping Lord Shiva on this day, diseases start getting cured and all kinds of defects also get eliminated, hence scholars have prescribed the method of worshiping Hari Har on this festival.
