How many days should we wear Kalawa? In Hinduism, Kalawa or Raksha Sutra has a special significance. After the Puja, when the Pandit ties this colorful thread around our hand, we consider it auspicious and keep it tied on our hand for a long time. But have you ever wondered how long this thread should be worn? Is it right to keep it on hand for months? If not, then why? Kalawa is not just a thread. A lot of energy is attached to it. Mantras are recited while tying it, and it is tied on the hand with faith. This is the reason why it is considered very important to wear it in the right way and take it off at the right time. Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma is giving more information on this subject.

Why is Kalawa considered special?
Kalawa has been associated with Lord Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. Along with this, Goddess Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati are also believed to reside in it. When this thread is tied on the other hand, it is believed that it protects the person from evil eye, disease, and negative thinking. But with time, the effect of this thread starts to diminish.
How long should Kalava be worn?
According to experts in astrology, Kalava should be worn only for 21 days. The biggest reason for this is that after 21 days, its color often starts to fade or the threads start to break. When Kalava becomes weak or its color fades, then its effect also starts to end. In such a situation, wearing it is considered inauspicious.
What to do with the old Kalava?
If you are removing Kalava after 21 days, then do not throw it anywhere. Neither keep it in the temple or hang it on a tree. It is believed that the old Kalava is filled with negative energy. Therefore, the best way is to bury it in the soil. With this, the negative energy associated with that thread also gets absorbed in the earth.

What happens if the old Kalava is not removed?
If a person wears the same Kalava for a long time, then he can see its opposite effect. According to the scriptures, doing this can disturb the balance of the planets and create obstacles in life. Many times this can be the reason for unnecessary stress, illness, and unrest in the house.
