Rules for tying Kalava: Why should Kalava be changed after 21 days? Know the religious belief behind it

For how many days should Kalawa be tied?

Significance of Kalava: Kalava (Mauli) has special significance in Hindu religion. Tying it on the wrist is considered a symbol of auspiciousness, protection and religious faith. Kalava is tied by the Pandit during puja, yagya or any auspicious work. Kalava is a red, yellow or saffron colored thread, which is tied on the wrist with special mantras. This is also called Raksha Sutra. It is believed that it protects the person from negative forces and maintains positive energy in life. But this question often comes in people's mind that why Kalava should be changed only after 21 days? There is a deep religious and spiritual belief behind this.

The connection of resolution period and energy

According to religious beliefs, when we tie Kalava, it is associated with the energy of a particular resolution or worship. Experts in the scriptures believe that any thread has a certain ability to store mantras and positive energy. The period of 21 days is seen as a circle, after which the spiritual energy of that thread gradually starts decreasing.

Planetary positions and negativity

According to astrology, Kalava tied on the wrist controls the flow of energy in the body. But if after 21 days the Kalava becomes old, dirty or faded, then it starts attracting negativity instead of positive energy. Therefore, to maintain auspiciousness, it is considered best to change it and wear a new Kalava.

  • Good day: Tuesday or Saturday is considered the most suitable day for changing Kalava.
  • What to do with old art? Never throw old or broken Kalava in the garbage. Keep it in the root of a Peepal tree or let it flow in a holy river.
