Hanging lemon and 7 green chilies in shops and business places
Greetings guys!
:D now I will tell you about the next superstitious in Hindu belief which is
hanging lemon and 7 green chilies in shops and business places. The story goes
like this, Alakshmi a god of misfortune brings bad luck tot the shop owners or
business and in order to not allow her to entering the business or shop place
they hang these 7 chilies and a lemon. It is because Alakshmi like sour,
pungent and hot things. Therefore, at the door shop, Alakshmi will only come up
at the door and will eat her favorite foods and satisfy her hunger and leave
the shop without entering it. The people had believed that Alakshmi had loses
her urge to enter the shops after consuming the chilies and lemon. She will
turn around without casting her vicious eyes. Aside from it there is a logical
explanation behind this superstitious belief. The cotton thread that had been
used to pierce the chilies and lemon absorbs the acid from the fruit while it
still fresh and it will cause a good smell which this smell will keeps away all
the pests and insects away from the shop. It makes sense somehow right?
