Meaning in Home Rituals
Drawn with roli, haldi, or rice paste, the Swastika marks beginnings: new homes, shops, and ceremonies.
- Use it at the main entrance during Griha Pravesh and festivals.
- Place it near the altar with devotion, not as casual décor.
- Never mark Swastika in toilets, under shoes, or on dirty floors left uncleansed.
- Keep the lines clear and upright; faded marks should be redrawn respectfully.
