Phulera Dooj 2025: Dos And Don’ts You Must Follow
- On the occasion of Phulera Dooj, it is essential to abstain from smoking, consuming alcohol, and eating non-vegetarian food. This helps create a sacred atmosphere, allowing devotees to focus on their spiritual connection with Lord Krishna. By avoiding these vices, individuals can purify their minds and bodies, making themselves more receptive to the divine energies.
- During Phulera Dooj celebrations, the coloured powder (gulal) offered to Shri Radha Krishna should not be carelessly discarded or allowed to touch anyone's feet. This is considered disrespectful and may attract negative energies. Instead, devotees should ensure that the gulal is disposed of thoughtfully, maintaining the sanctity of the occasion.

- Phulera Dooj is a time for spiritual growth and self-reflection. It is essential to cultivate positive thoughts and avoid harbouring negative feelings towards others. Additionally, devotees should treat elders and women with respect and dignity, upholding the values of kindness and compassion.
- On Phulera Dooj, devotees worship not only Shri Radha Krishna but also Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This highlights the importance of acknowledging the divine union of these deities. By worshipping Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, devotees can seek their blessings and experience spiritual growth.
- Phulera Dooj celebrations emphasise the importance of communal worship. Devotees are encouraged to worship Shri Radha Krishna together, rather than individually. This collective worship fosters a sense of unity and strengthens relationships as it is believed that separate worship may create distances in loving relationships.
