What if lighted lamp falls off during Hindu Puja puja or
worship? Is it bad? What should be done to ward of any problems related to it.
Lamp falling during Hindu puja is considered inauspicious by majority of Hindu
communities.
Shanti puja is performed for propitiation and redemption and
to avert any untoward incidents in the future due to the falling of the lamp.
The puja involves offering prayers to Ganesha and to the
deity to whom the puja was offered when the lamp fell. One has to ask for
forgiveness.
Conducting Annadanam or food donation after such an incident
will help averting all future troubles due to the accident.
