New Delhi: In Vedic astrology and Hindu traditions, turmeric is valued not only as a kitchen spice but also for its spiritual and purifying qualities. Believed to dispel negative energies and attract positivity, turmeric holds a special place in various rituals. Many people add turmeric to their bathwater as part of a simple yet powerful remedy to invite good fortune and prosperity into their lives.
According to astrological beliefs, bathing with turmeric water can strengthen Jupiter (Guru Graha) in one’s horoscope, improve marital prospects, and bring peace and abundance to the home. This age-old ritual is especially considered auspicious when performed on a Thursday, a day associated with Jupiter, and is often followed by wearing yellow attire to maximise its benefits.
Removes negative energy and attracts positivity
Astrologers suggest that turmeric helps remove negative energy and draws in positive vibrations. Adding turmeric to bathwater is believed to create a shield of positivity, cleansing the aura and uplifting the mood.
Strengthens Jupiter in the horoscope
In astrology, turmeric is linked with Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, fortune, and prosperity. Bathing with turmeric water is said to strengthen a weak Jupiter and remove planetary doshas (flaws) associated with it.
Overcomes marriage-related obstacles
Traditionally, bathing with turmeric water on Thursdays is believed to remove hurdles in marriage and increase chances of an early wedding. As turmeric is considered pure and auspicious, it is also thought to bring prosperity and happiness to the household.
Brings financial gains and success
Religious belief holds that turmeric water baths bring financial benefits, peace, and success. Astrologers regard it as a remedy that opens the doors to luck and opportunities.
How to perform the turmeric bath ritual
Mix a pinch of turmeric powder into a bucket of water and stir well. Use this water to bathe. If performing the ritual on a Thursday, it is recommended to wear yellow clothing after the bath to align with Jupiter’s energy.
