Vastu Tips: Vastu Shastra mentions some such tasks which if done after sunset can cause many problems. According to the belief, doing these tasks before or after sunset by mistake can have negative impact for life. The main reason behind this is that Maa Lakshmi can get angry and financial problems can arise for life.
What to do after sunset
After sunset, light a lamp in the temple inside the house i.e. the puja room and take the blessings of God.
After sunset, a lamp should be lit at the main entrance of the house, it is very auspicious. After sunset, listen to the kirtan and bhajans of the gods and goddesses. It is believed that by doing this, the problems in life will end.
If there is Tulsi ji in the house, then light a ghee lamp near the Tulsi plant, it is considered very good and auspicious.
Do not do these tasks after sunset
One should not sweep or mop the house in the evening. It is believed that doing so ends the blessings of life.
Clothes should not be washed after sunset because doing so is not auspicious at all.
Lights should not be switched off at the main door and inside the house in the evening, rather the house should be kept lit.
Eating after sunset should be avoided. According to the belief, eating in the evening makes Goddess Lakshmi angry. This brings dirt in the house.
During Vastu, sitting on the threshold in the evening is not auspicious, because according to the belief, doing so prevents Lakshmi and Ganesha from entering the house.
The Tulsi plant should especially not be touched after sunset because it is very inauspicious. It is believed that touching the Tulsi plant in the evening can anger Goddess Lakshmi and Vishnu.
