Attention Are these things kept in your puja room? Put it out today itself, otherwise a big mistake can happen. Beware! Are these items kept in your prayer room? Remove them today itself, or else you could be making a grave mistake.


Home puja is considered to be the most sacred place from where we receive positive energy. But often unknowingly we keep such things at the place of worship, which according to Vastu Shastra and astrology cause negativity. Are there burnt matchsticks, sharp objects or more than one conch shell kept in your temple? If yes, then you need to be careful. According to religious beliefs, the presence of these things in the puja room can hinder the blessings of the Gods and Goddesses and hinder happiness and prosperity.

Why are these things considered inauspicious?

According to Vastu Shastra, keeping burnt matchsticks in the puja room is considered the biggest defect. A burnt matchstick symbolizes negative energy and violates the sanctity of the puja. Similarly, keeping knives, scissors or any sharp object in the temple causes discord and mental disturbance at home. At the same time, conch is considered to be a gem obtained from the ‘churning of the ocean’ and it is said to be the form of Lord Vishnu. The scriptures say that only one conch should be kept in the puja room; Keeping more than one conch shell causes conflict of energy and reduces the attainment of auspicious results.

How to keep the puja room energetic?

Keep your puja room dedicated only for the worship of God and do not use it as a store room. The temple should contain only those items which are essential for worship, such as incense-lamps, holy water, fresh flowers and pure ghee. Burnt match sticks should be immediately thrown into the dustbin. If unnecessary material has accumulated in your temple, then clean it today itself and purify the temple by sprinkling Ganga water. A clean and organized temple spreads positivity and peace in the house.

These small things related to the temple will change your destiny

The puja room should always be in the north-east direction (northeast corner) of the house. Apart from this, broken idols, old flowers or dried necklaces should also not be left in the temple. If you have kept more than one conch shell in the temple, donate it to a temple or keep it in some other holy place in the house, but not in the main place of worship. By taking care of these small things, not only will the Vaastu defects of your house be removed, but you will also get the full results of the puja. To create a positive environment, check your puja room today and welcome positivity by removing these things.
