Why you shouldn't leave your hair loose?

Leaving the hair loose


It is believed that when you leave your hair loose when going to temples and while attending poojas it is said to resemble bad omens.. we often see people with lose hair only in funeral houses..

Moreover, it is advisable to avoid leaving the hair untied after sunset as it is said to attract negative vibrations (ghosts or in Tamil kaathu chettai) and drive away Goddess Lakshmi. Women in the Hindu households are depicted as Goddess Lakshmi therefore they are always expected to dress neatly especially in the mornings and evenings.

If u don't wish to braid your hair then a lose ponytail also works as long as you do not leave it loose..

The festival idol of Shiva with Parvathi in a seated pose on Nandi is taken as a procession in the temple complex.
