In Hindu tradition, omens have special importance, which indicate happiness and prosperity in the house or upcoming difficulties. According to Vastu and religious beliefs, some events and objects give bad signs. For example, a black cat crossing the path is considered a symbol of hindrance in important tasks. Similarly, spilling of milk or salt indicates financial loss or family discord. Astrologer Pandit Ramesh Sharma says, “Ignoring such bad omens can be risky. They can be avoided with caution.”

The drying of the Tulsi plant in the house or the frequent appearance of black rats is also considered a bad omen. Tulsi is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi, and its withering indicates financial crisis. Black rats warn of challenges or losses. Apart from this, fighting lizards in the house or the entry of bats is an indicator of disagreement and unrest in the family. Numbers 8 and 13 are also considered inauspicious, as they are associated with difficulties.

These beliefs may be based on religious beliefs, but they are part of traditions that have been going on for centuries. Experts advise that by understanding these signs and being cautious, negative effects can be reduced. It is important to pay attention to these omens to maintain positive energy in the house.
