G GOWTHAM
As the year comes to a close, astrologers emphadata-size the spiritual significance of cleaning your home temple or prayer area on 31st December. While the Gregorian calendar is widely followed around the world, many people observe this ritual to symbolically cleanse negativity and prepare for a prosperous new year.

According to Jyotish (Vedic astrology), cleaning your temple at the year’s end helps remove accumulated negative energies, purifies the sacred space, and invites positive vibrations for the upcoming year. It is seen as an act of devotion that balances both spiritual and mental energies, setting a fresh tone for meditation, prayer, and overall well-being.

Do’s for Cleaning Your Temple:

  • Use a clean cloth and mild water or natural cleaning agents to wipe idols, lamps, and surdata-faces.
  • Rearrange items neatly, ensuring the deity and offerings are placed respectfully.
  • Light fresh incense sticks or ghee lamps after cleaning to invite positivity.
  • Offer fresh flowers, fruits, or other customary items as part of the ritual.
Don’ts for Cleaning Your Temple:

  • Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage idols or sacred items.
  • Never sweep dust or debris toward the deity; sweep from the temple outward.
  • Do not rush through the process; it should be done mindfully with devotion.
  • Avoid cleaning during inauspicious timings according to local panchangam.
Astrologers say that observing this practice not only cleans the physical space but also has a subtle effect on mental clarity, spiritual focus, and emotional balance. It is considered a simple yet powerful way to enter the new year with positivity, harmony, and renewed energy.
