🌷 Lamp Offering on Dhanteras 🌷
👉🏻 Perform Yam Deep Daan as previously instructed.
🔥 To remove poverty, light an unbroken lamp in your prayer room on Dhanteras evening and keep it burning until Diwali night. If it continues until Bhai Dooj, it is believed to eliminate all Vastu defects.
🔥 Place a ghee lamp in the northeast corner of your home. Use red thread instead of cotton wick and add a pinch of saffron.
🔥 Light a mustard oil lamp with two black gunja seeds, worship it with fragrance and place it on a heap of grains at your main entrance. It should burn all night without extinguishing to ensure financial stability throughout the year.
🌞 For Success in Work: If facing obstacles, apply vermilion from Hanumanji’s right shoulder to your forehead on Tuesday. It is believed to help resolve difficulties.
