News Topical, Digital Desk : Ganga Saptami is considered the birth anniversary of Goddess Ganga. It is on the seventh day of the bright fortnight of the month of Vaishakh that Goddess Ganga descended to earth from the locks of Lord Shiva's hair, hence the name Ganga Jayanti. Religious belief holds that bathing in the Ganga and donating on this day washes away the sins of a person's seven lifetimes.

But did you know that simply bathing on Ganga Saptami isn't enough? Bringing certain sacred items home on this auspicious day will not only bestow the blessings of Mother Ganga but also of Lord Shiva. So, let's explore the things that can awaken your dormant fortune.

Ganga water in a silver or copper vessel

The most auspicious thing to do on Ganga Saptami is to bring holy Ganga water home. If this is difficult, fill the Ganga water you already have at home with a new copper or silver vessel and place it in the northeast corner. This will dispel negative energy and bring happiness and prosperity to the home.

Southern conch

The conch is considered to be the brother of Goddess Lakshmi. Therefore, purchasing a right-pointed conch shell on Ganga Saptami and placing it in a place of worship is considered very auspicious. It is believed that poverty will never enter a home where the conch shell is blown and worshipped.

Lotus or elephant statue

Mother Ganga loves the lotus flower, and the elephant is a symbol of prosperity. Bringing home a small silver lotus flower or a silver elephant on this day opens doors to progress in your career and business. It is also considered a good luck charm. If this is difficult, you can bring a statuette made of any other metal (lotus or elephant).

Rudraksh

Mother Ganga resides in the matted locks of Lord Shiva, so bringing home a Rudraksha on Ganga Saptami and wearing it or placing it in your puja room is considered especially fruitful. It reduces stress in your life and provides mental peace.
