Lucknow, Amrit Vichar: Many times you must have heard the elders of the house saying that the threshold of the house is worshippable. People have been believing this for years. Sanatan Dharma itself includes all kinds of traditions and beliefs about it. There is no special belief for threshold worship, but you must have seen that when a new bride comes to her in-laws’ house, she is made to worship the threshold of the house. This tradition has been going on for centuries. Let us know what is the special belief of Hinduism in Sanatan Dharma and what the scriptures say about it.
According to Lucknow’s astrologer Pandit Gomti Shankar, the threshold is the main place of the house. That is why when the main door of the house is built, the threshold is also built. According to beliefs, the threshold prevents negative energy from entering the house. Along with this, Goddess Lakshmi also resides in the house.
What is the benefit of worshipping the threshold?
According to Pandit ji, the threshold of the house should always be kept clean. Dirt should never be kept there, otherwise negative energy starts living in the house. Worshipping the threshold brings positive energy in the house. All auspicious works are completed well. It is also believed that by worshipping the threshold, all the planets become calm and the Vaastu Dosh of the house is removed.
Why is dehri puja necessary?
Rahu resides on the threshold of the house. In such a situation, if someone worships the threshold, then the ill effects of Rahu are reduced. Apart from this, the threshold is also considered to be the entrance for the arrival of Goddess Lakshmi. That is why according to the scriptures, the worship of the threshold of the house should be done with proper rituals and if possible, worship the door frame of the house every day.
Why is the Dehri Puja done by the new bride?
According to the scriptures, daughter-in-law is the form of Goddess Lakshmi. In such a situation, if she does Dehri Puja, then the house is always full of wealth and grains. Dehri Puja brings happiness and prosperity in the house. It also provides relief from financial problems.
Rules of worship?
According to Jyotishacharya, keep the threshold clean every day, sprinkle Gangajal. After this, decorate the threshold with flowers and apply tilak with kumkum. After this, light a lamp of ghee or sesame oil there once in the morning or evening and pray to Goddess Lakshmi for her arrival. This will remove the negative energy from the house and happiness and prosperity will reside in the house.
