In Indian society and culture, the daughter is considered to be the embodiment of ‘Sakshat Lakshmi’ of the house. Whenever the beloved daughter comes to her maternal home after marriage, the parents and family members leave no stone unturned to welcome her. At the same time, when the daughter starts returning to her in-laws’ house, every parent tries to gift her the best clothes, jewelery and useful items as per their capacity. But do you know that according to the rules of Vastu Shastra and Astrology, some things given out of love, knowingly or unknowingly, can cause great harm to the married life of the daughter? It is clearly stated in Vaastu and religious beliefs that gifting certain things to a daughter can cause troubles in her in-laws, bitterness in married life and can also adversely affect the prosperity of her maternal home.
According to Vastu Shastra, while giving kitchen items to a married daughter, one should never gift a knife, scissors, knife, barbed spoon or any sharp object.
From astrological point of view, sharp and sharp objects are considered to be related to Rahu, Ketu and aggressive Mars. When such items are given as gifts from the maternal home, they activate negative energy that ‘cuts’ or creates cracks in relationships. Due to this, an atmosphere of unnecessary disputes, bitterness and estrangement begins to arise in the daughter’s in-laws house with her mother-in-law, sister-in-law or husband. If you have to give a modern kitchen set to your daughter, then keep things like knives and scissors aside from it or advise her to buy it herself at the expense of her in-laws.
It is a very common custom in Indian homes that when a mother goes to her in-laws’ house, she packs her daughter’s favorite mango, lemon or chilli pickle in boxes. Although only mother’s love is behind this, but according to folk beliefs and astrology, it is considered prohibited for a married daughter to take pickles from her maternal home.
It is believed that the sour and spicy taste of pickle gradually reduces the sweetness of the daughter’s relationship with her in-laws. Due to this, there is a possibility of sourness in the mutual love between husband and wife and increase in tension with in-laws over small matters. If the daughter has to be given only home-cooked dishes, then instead of pickles, one should give gram flour laddus, gujiya, mathri or other sweet dishes, which are considered a symbol of happiness, prosperity and sweetness in relationships.
Whenever a daughter returns to her parents’ house after marriage, gifting her new clothes is considered a very pious and auspicious omen. But while selecting clothes, it is necessary to pay special attention to their colors. According to Vaastu and Sanatan tradition, a married daughter should never be gifted black, dark brown or dark blue colored clothes.
Black color represents the heaviness and negativity of Saturn and Rahu, which is considered completely prohibited in auspicious and auspicious works. Giving black clothes to a married daughter affects the energy of her married life and creates a situation of mental stress. A married daughter should always be presented with clothes of auspicious and auspicious colors like red, yellow, pink, orange or green, which are responsible for good luck, health and progeny growth.
Often parents give their daughter a sewing machine or a full box of needles and threads, thinking that it will prove useful in household work. But in Vastu Shastra, it is considered inappropriate to give needle and thread while leaving the maternal home.
While the needle symbolizes a sharp prick, if the thread gets entangled then it becomes very complicated to untangle. Symbolically, it is believed that giving the needle and thread from the mother’s house creates complications in the fabric of the daughter’s family life and one may hear taunts or harsh remarks in the in-laws’ house. If the daughter is fond of sewing or works in a boutique, then she should buy this equipment from her own money while staying at her in-laws’ house, and not take it as a farewell gift from her parents’ home.
In Hindu religion, broom is considered a symbolic form of Goddess Lakshmi. Broom has special importance in bringing happiness and peace to the house and removing poverty. Many times people buy cleaning equipment or brooms as a gift to their daughter at the time of settling in a new house or at the time of house warming, which creates huge Vaastu defects.
According to the scriptures, a broom from the mother’s house should never be sent with the daughter to her in-laws’ house. It is believed that by doing this, Lakshmi and wealth-prosperity of the mother’s house goes away with the daughter and financial problems can knock in the house. On the other hand, a broom given as a gift does not give auspicious results even in the in-laws’ house. Therefore, the daughter should buy any item related to house cleaning only from the local market of her in-laws.
According to Vaastu and religious scriptures, only auspicious and good luck enhancing things should always be given to a married daughter at the time of farewell:
-
Ingredients of Solah Shringar: Giving wedding accessories like vermilion, bindi, alta, bangles and mehendi is considered most virtuous.
-
Sweets and Fruits: Giving jaggery, batasha or homemade sweets maintains sweetness in marriage.
-
Brass or silver utensils: Giving a vessel made of silver or brass (like a pot or plate) strengthens the Moon and Jupiter, due to which there is never any dearth of respect and wealth in the in-laws’ house.
-
Shagun coin or cash: One should never bid farewell to a daughter empty-handed; bidding farewell by placing Akshat (rice) and Shagun’s cash in her lap brings happiness and peace to both the clans.
