Astrologer Champak Sharma tells News18 that washing hands in the plate, wasting food, eating on the bed, or serving three rotis is inauspicious and may harm health and finances
In Indian culture, food is treated with great respect and is often seen as a blessing from Goddess Annapurna. Washing hands in the same plate after eating is believed to show disrespect towards food, which, according to belief, may lead to disturbances at home, health issues, and even financial difficulties. It is also said to reduce the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.Another important principle is to never waste food. One should take only as much as they can eat. Leftover food should not be discarded but can be given to birds or animals. This is believed to bring positive energy and blessings into the household.Some people also have the habit of eating while sitting on the bed. According to traditional guidelines, this is not advisable. Eating in a place meant for rest can disturb the energy of that space and may affect both physical health and mental well-being over time. It is better to eat in a clean, designated area.Certain dining practices are also considered important. For instance, serving three rotis at once on a plate is believed to be inauspicious. Instead, food should be served in balanced portions. Utensils used for serving should always be clean and dry, as placing food in wet dishes is thought to invite unnecessary problems.Small daily habits can have a larger impact on our lives. By maintaining cleanliness and respecting traditional practices, it is believed that one can invite better health, happiness, and financial stability.
