Wife’s Sitting Position In Hindu Rituals: The presence of both husband and wife is considered very important during worship and auspicious works at home. During puja or other auspicious activities, people often have confusion about how the husband and wife should sit. What is the most suitable position for them to sit? This has been specifically mentioned in the scriptures. Rules related to worship or auspicious activities should be followed.
If these rules are not followed, then the full results of the worship are not achieved. According to the scriptures, during some activities the wife should sit on the left side of the husband and during other activities on the right side. In such a situation, let us know which side should the wife sit on the right or left side of the husband during auspicious functions?
In which tasks should the wife sit on the right?
In Sanatan Dharma, the wife is considered Vamangi (living on the left side), but when any religious or auspicious work is done at home, then the wife should sit on the right side of her husband. It is said in the scriptures that when a married man performs religious rituals, it is auspicious for his wife to sit on his right side. In yagya, katha, havan and puja, the wife should sit on the right side of the husband.
Except the ritual of donating vermilion, in all other worship rituals of marriage, in Shraddha, Tarpan and rituals related to ancestors, while giving donations, while breaking the fast or during Chaturthi rituals, during the naming ceremony of the child and the sacred resolution of Kanyadaan and at the time of pilgrimage bath and religious bath taken on any special festival, the wife should sit on the right side of her husband.
When should the wife stay on the left side?
According to the scriptures, the wife should sit on the left side of her husband when he does worldly or love related work. Apart from this, at the time of donating vermillion in marriage, while receiving blessings from Brahmins, while washing the feet of elders and while sleeping, the wife should always remain on the left side of the husband.
