Holika is worshiped before Halika Dahan. On this day one should sit near Holika facing east or north. Then, one should worship Ganesha and Gauri. This is followed by the chanting of Om Holikayai Namah for Holika, Om Prahladaya Namah for the devotee Prahlad and Om Nrisimhaya Namah for Lord Nrisimha. Wheat earrings are roasted in the fire during Holika Dahan. Then eat them. It is said that this keeps a person healthy.
After this, 4 garlands of Badgulla are taken and offered to Pitra, Hanuman ji, Sheetla Mata and the family. Then Holika is circumambulated thrice or seven times.

Worship Holika with incense, smell, flowers etc. Then say your wishes and ask for forgiveness for the mistakes.
