Match Box Vastu: The place of worship is considered to be the most special place in the house which is as sacred as a temple. Therefore, it is very important that you keep this place pure, holy and clean by following the rules. If you do not follow the rules related to the place of worship or ignore it, then remember that you will never get the fruits of worship. This is the reason why many rules related to worship have been told in Hinduism and Vastu Shastra . The place of worship is considered to be the place of gods and goddesses and here we regularly worship the gods and goddesses, so there mustn't be any kind of Vastu defect in the place of worship.

Sometimes we follow all the rules related to worship, but despite this, we make some mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. One of these is keeping a matchbox at the place of worship. Some people keep the matchbox at the place of worship or leave the box there after worship. Remember, keeping a matchbox at the place of worship can cause trouble for you. Let us know why a matchbox should not be kept at the place of worship and what are the disadvantages of it.

Why we don't keep matchboxes in our worship room

Do not keep match in puja temple at home

In Hinduism, during worship, Deep-Jyoti, Agarbatti or Dhoop are definitely lit. God is pleased by lighting Dhoop and Deep and its smoke and light also increases the flow of positive energy in the house. Matchsticks are used to light Dhoop and Deep, which is also necessary. But leaving the matchstick near the place of worship after lighting Dhoop and Deep or keeping the matchstick in the prayer room itself can be a cause of inauspiciousness.

According to Vastu Shastra, keeping a matchbox in the prayer room is considered inauspicious. The reason for this is that the prayer room is a sacred place and keeping flammable or hot things here causes Vastu Dosh. It is believed that keeping matchboxes in the prayer room increases negativity. Matchboxes should not be kept in the prayer room as well as in the bedroom. Otherwise, it can have a negative impact on your married life. You can keep the matchbox in the kitchen or any other place in the house. But you should avoid keeping it in the bedroom and the temple of the house.

Keep these things in mind too

Vastu Tips For Puja Temple

1. Along with the matchbox, do not keep lighter or any kind of flammable material at the place of worship.
2. After lighting incense sticks or dhoop-deep, do not leave the remaining matchstick at the place of worship even by mistake. Doing so can cause poverty at home.
3. When the incense stick burns, remove the remaining ash or bamboo from near the temple. If this is not done, you may have to face Pitra Dosh.
4. If for some reason it becomes necessary to keep the matchbox in the prayer room, then instead of keeping it open, you can keep the matchbox wrapped in a cloth.
