Things Not To Buy In Pitru Paksha: The time of Pitru Paksha is considered very special in Hinduism. These 16 days are an opportunity to remember the ancestors, perform Shradh for them, and get blessings. It is said that it is important to follow some rules during this time; otherwise, instead of the blessings of the ancestors, you may get angry. One of those rules is not to buy iron items. According to astrology, iron is associated with the planet Saturn, and bringing it home during Pitru Paksha is considered inauspicious. It is believed that buying iron items during this time affects the happiness, peace, and prosperity of the house. Let us know, Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma, why buying iron items is prohibited during Pitru Paksha.

Why are iron items not bought during Pitru Paksha?

The time of Pitru Paksha is considered for the peace and salvation of the souls of the ancestors. People avoid buying new things during this time because this is not a time for pleasure and luxury but for faith and simplicity. Iron is related to the planet Saturn, and Saturn is called the god of justice. Pandits believe that if iron is bought during Pitru Paksha, it displeases Shani. Due to this, difficulties in life can increase, and there can be obstacles to the blessings of ancestors.

Which iron items should be avoided?
All kinds of iron items should be avoided during Pitru Paksha, but especially iron utensils and tools related to the kitchen should not be bought at all. The kitchen is the most sacred place in the house because it is from here that the food of the whole family is prepared. It is said that bringing new iron items into the kitchen during this time can reduce blessings and increase negative energy.

Apart from this, iron items used for home decoration or daily use, like doors, locks, or tools, should also be avoided at this time.

Why is donating iron auspicious?
While buying iron during Pitru Paksha is considered inauspicious, donating it is very auspicious. Donating sesame seeds, black clothes and items made of iron at this time pleases Shani Dev and gives peace to the souls of ancestors. Charity is the most important part of Pitru Paksha. It is believed that by donating, the souls of ancestors attain salvation and happiness and prosperity remains in the family.
