If Ganga water is kept in plastic, then it will take sin, know 4 holy utensils which will bring happiness and prosperity to the house:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Hindu Rituals: Ganga water has special significance in Sanatan Dharma. It is believed that Ganga water never deteriorates and keeping it in homes keeps positive energy. But to maintain its sanctity and qualities, it is very important that it be kept in the right pot. Putting Ganga water in plastic is not considered appropriate because:

• Scientific reason: Plastic is made of chemicals, which can be mixed in water and affect its purity. Plastic can negatively affect the unique chemical composition of Ganga water.
• Religious reasons: Plastic is not considered pure metal and is considered inappropriate to keep holy things.

So now the question is, in which pots instead of plastic, it will be best to keep Ganga water? Here are 4 such options that live up to the test of both tradition and purity:

1. Copper pot:
   Copper is considered a very sacred metal in Hinduism. It is rich in medicinal properties and has been used since ancient times to worship and keep water. Keeping the Ganga water in a copper pot or vessel not only keeps its purity, but it is believed that the properties of copper increase further in the Ganges water. Scientifically, keeping water in copper destroys many bacteria of water.
2. Silver Pot:
   If you want the pure and auspicious option, then the silver vessel is considered to be the best for keeping Ganga water. Silver is an expensive metal, but its purity and auspiciousness is unique. By placing Ganga water in a silver vessel, not only does it remain pure for a long time, but it also brings prosperity and good fortune. Silver has anti-bacterial properties, which does not spoil the water for a long time.
3. Brass pot:
   Brass is also an auspicious and traditional metal used in worship. Brass vessel made from a mixture of copper and zinc is also a great option to keep Ganga water safe and holy. The Ganges water kept in a brass vessel also remains pure and fresh. It is as useful as copper, and is also economically easy.
4. Earthen pot or glass bottle:
   If you do not want to use metal utensils or find them more expensive, then earthen pot (urn) or good quality glass bottles are also the best option. Potato pots naturally keep the water cool and pure. At the same time, glass is a neutral material that does not react with water, so that Ganga water remains in its original state. Both these options are considered very good for maintaining the sanctity of Ganga water.

Ganga water should always be kept in a clean and pure place, such as in the temple of the house or in a high place. With this small change, you can not only increase its religious importance, but can ensure that you get complete purity and positive energy while using it.
