Nazar battu ghar ke bahar lagana sahi hai ya galat?
Nazar battu ghar ke bahar lagana traditionally sahi hai ya nahi, aur andar lagana kis tarah alag hai, dono ka jawab yahan hai.
The short answer
Nazar battu ghar ke bahar lagana traditionally sahi maana jaata hai, kyunki iska kaam threshold par hi aane wali buri nazar ko rokna hai. Kuch log isse ghar ke andar bhi lagate hain decor ke roop mein, lekin bahar lagana hi is riwaz ka mool sthaan hai, koi galat baat nahi hai dono mein se kisi mein bhi.

Nazar battu bahar kyun lagate hain?
Parampara ke anusaar nazar battu ka kaam hai ghar mein aane se pehle hi kisi bhi buri drishti ko apni taraf khinch lena. Yeh idea kirtimukha ki kahani se aata hai, jahan yeh face threshold, yaani darwaze par hi guard ki tarah baitha hai. Isi wajah se main door ke bahar, upar ya side mein lagana sabse zyada common practice hai.
Kya andar lagana galat hai?
Nahi, galat nahi hai. Bahut se ghar andar bhi ek chhota piece rakhte hain, living room ya pooja ghar ke paas, sirf decor aur devotional reason se. Iske baare mein poori jaankari kirtimukha ghar ke andar rakha ja sakta hai ya nahi mein hai.
Kaunsi jagah zyada asar rakhti hai, bahar ya andar?
Parampara mein bahar wali jagah ko primary maana gaya hai, kyunki wahi threshold hai. Andar wala piece is meaning ko carry karta hai lekin usi gatekeeper role mein nahi aata jo bahar wale ko diya gaya hai. Dono rakhna bhi koi galat baat nahi, kai ghar dono jagah lagate hain.
Kya har ghar ke liye yeh zaroori hai?
Nahi. Yeh ek parampara hai jo family se family badalti hai, koi shastra ka strict niyam nahi ki bina laga liye ghar adhoora hai. Jinke liye yeh maayne rakhta hai, unke liye placement guide kahan aur kis height par lagayein mein di gayi hai.
Naye ghar mein kab lagana chahiye?
Bahut se ghar isse griha pravesh ke waqt hi lagate hain, jab naya ghar pehli baar use hona shuru hota hai. Kuch families isse baad mein bhi lagate hain, jab unhe lagta hai ki entrance decor adhoora hai. Dono hi tareeke sahi maane jaate hain, koi fixed samay ka niyam nahi hai.
