India is known as the Land of the Gods. Every state and village here has a temple with its own mysterious story and tradition. According to scriptures, visiting a temple and receiving and accepting prasad purifies the body and mind and bestows God's blessings. Generally speaking, receiving prasad at temples is considered auspicious, but there are some temples in India where even eating or touching prasad is considered a bad omen. It is said that taking prasad home from these temples can lead to inauspicious events and various obstacles, including ghosts and spirits. Let's learn about these mysterious temples in India where devotees are forbidden from taking prasad…
Mehndipur Balaji, Rajasthan
Everyone has heard of Mehndipur Balaji, dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It is believed that those suffering from evil and negative forces find relief after visiting this temple. It is believed that offering Bundi laddus to Lord Balaji and urad dal and chaav to Bhairav Baba helps ward off evil spirits. It is considered inauspicious to consume or partake of the offerings from this temple.
Kamakhya Devi Temple, Assam
The Kamakhya Devi Temple in Guwahati, Assam, is considered the most powerful of the Shakti Peethas. The goddess is worshipped here during her menstrual cycle. No devotees are allowed inside the temple during the three-day festival, so no offerings can be taken during this time. It is believed that the goddess is given rest during these days, so devotees should consume the offerings only after the puja.
Kaal Bhairav Temple, Ujjain
At the Kaal Bhairav Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, devotees offer liquor as prasad. This is the only temple in India where this practice is prevalent. However, it is believed that this offering is only offered to Lord Bhairav and should not be consumed by householders. Anyone who breaks this rule faces obstacles in their life. However, the temple also offers devotees sattvik prasad such as jalebi, kheer, or halwa.
Naina Devi Temple, Himachal Pradesh
The Naina Devi Temple in Himachal Pradesh is one of the 51 Shaktipeeths. The offerings made here are offered only to the goddess after a special ritual, not to the devotees. It is said that the offerings made at the Naina Devi temple can only be consumed within the temple. Taking Naina Devi's prasad home is considered inauspicious. While eating the prasad at the temple is fine, it is not a problem, but you should not take the goddess's prasad outside the temple.
Kotilingeshwara Temple, Karnataka
Located in the Kolar district of Karnataka, this temple houses one crore Shivalingas. The prasad offered after the puja is only accepted symbolically. You can accept it with folded hands, but eating it is considered inauspicious. Prasad that falls from atop a Shivalinga should never be eaten, as it is considered dedicated to Chandeshwar. If it is placed near the Shivalinga, it can be consumed.
