Deepak ka Bujhna: Puja and Aarti are performed every morning and evening in Hindu homes. The lamp is necessarily lit during the puja. There is a tradition of lighting a lamp every day in front of the main door of the house and the Tulsi plant. At the same time, if the lamp suddenly gets extinguished during the puja, it is considered a bad omen or inauspicious. Let us know what are the signs when the puja lamp gets extinguished and how its inauspicious consequences can be avoided.

Importance of lighting a lamp
Lighting a lamp is considered auspicious during the worship of Gods and Goddesses, havan, recitation, or any auspicious program. Lighting a lamp not only removes the darkness of life but also removes the negative energy present in the house. According to the scriptures, lighting a lamp eliminates life's problems. Also, it is believed in Vastu Shastra that by lighting a lamp, Vastu defects are removed.

Meaning of lamp suddenly extinguishing
Extinguishing the lamp during puja is generally considered a bad omen. It is believed that if the lamp gets extinguished during the puja, it is considered a sign of displeasure of the Gods and Goddesses. It is also believed that the puja is not completed and you will not get its full results. Besides, this also hinders the fulfillment of desires. At the same time, extinguishing the lamp also indicates that the person is not worshiping God with a true heart.

Do these measures
There can be other reasons for the lamp getting extinguished during puja such as wind, or lack of sufficient amount of ghee or oil in the wick. In such a situation, if your lamp gets extinguished during the puja, then seek forgiveness from God and light the lamp again. Also keep in mind that there should be a sufficient amount of ghee and oil in the lamp so that the lamp does not get extinguished again.

Keep these things in mind during Akhand Jyoti
If a person has lit the Akhand Jyoti to fulfill his resolution, then he needs to take great care of it, because extinguishing the Akhand Jyoti can hinder the fulfillment of his wishes. Such an incident can bring trouble to the family. To avoid this, while lighting the Akhand Jyoti, keep a glass enclosure around it and keep plenty of oil and ghee in it. Also, light a small lamp next to the Akhand Jyoti, so that the Akhand Jyoti can be lit again from it.
