It is believed that keeping the broom in the right place brings prosperity to the home. However, due to some unknown reasons, many people place the broom in the bathroom, kitchen, or anywhere near the door. This is considered wrong according to Vastu. This can cause many problems in the home.
However, according to Vastu Shastra, if you want to avoid monetary loss or financial hardship, the broom should be placed in the correct direction in the house. Let's find out what this correct direction is.
The correct direction to keep a broom:
According to Vastu Shastra, placing a broom in the southwest or west direction of the house is considered auspicious. This direction is associated with stability and security. The broom should be placed in a place where no one can easily see it. Always keep the broom in a closed place, such as a storeroom or under a cupboard. This will ensure that there is never a shortage of money in the house.
Avoid these mistakes when storing a broom.
People often keep brooms standing in their homes. However, storing them this way is considered inauspicious. Brooms should always be placed on the ground. Similarly, care should be taken to ensure that no one steps on the broom. The broom is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi, so it should not be disrespected.
When should you buy a broom?
The best days to buy a broom are the new moon day, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can buy a broom on any of these days.
