Hinduism, this tradition has been going on for centuries that whenever there is an auspicious event, the elders of the family worship the deities of their clan. During this worship, they make a brick stove at that place and prepare prasad. After this, prasad is offered to the deities. But in today's modern times, people are getting away from their traditions and roots. Worshipping the family deities is a far cry, people do not even remember their names. In such a situation, it becomes important to know who are the deities of the clan and if we do not worship them, what effect does it have on our lives.

Who are the deities of the clan?

Astrologers tell us that every family or clan has its own Kuldevi or Kuldevta. These deities are the protectors of the family and their generations have been worshipping them for centuries. Just as Lord Ganesha is given the first place in worship, Kuldevi and Devtas also have great importance in worship. After worshipping Ganesha, Kuldevi and Devtas should be worshipped and then other deities, only then the worship is successful.

Importance of Kuldevi and Kuldevta

Kuldevi is the goddess of the family or clan. Kuldevta is the god or deity of the family, which is called Kuldev. It is considered necessary to worship Kuldevi before starting any auspicious work. Worship of Kuldevi increases unity and harmony in the family. These gods and goddesses are very important for the family or clan.

Information related to Kuldevi and Kuldevta

Kuldevi or deity is related to the ancestors of the family. By their grace, happiness and prosperity remains in the family. The names of Kuldevi or deities vary according to the history, region and traditions of the family. If you do not know the name of your Kuldevi or Kuldevta, then you can ask your family elders or Brahmin.

When should the Kuldevi be worshipped?

Whenever there is a marriage, tonsure, naming ceremony, housewarming or any auspicious event in the family, it is necessary to worship the Kuldevi. If you are going on a pilgrimage or visiting the deities, you should first worship your Kuldevi. Worship of Kuldevi is necessary for the happiness and peace of the family.

How is the Kuldevi identified?

The identity of the Kuldevi is also connected to the place where the ancestors of the family lived. Sometimes those deities can also be your Kuldevi or Kuldevta who are worshipped in that area or place. Worshiping these deities maintains happiness and peace in the family.

Bad effects of not worshipping the family deities

If the Kuldevi or Kuldevta is not worshipped, then many problems can arise in the family. There can be losses in business, health related diseases, accidents or incidents like fire. If we worship any other deity except our Kuldevtas, then even God is not pleased. So if you have given up the worship of your Kuldevi or Kuldevta, then it is time to start it again.

Worship of Kuldevta and Kuldevi is not only a tradition but it is also the basis of happiness, security and prosperity of the family.
