In such a situation, if Rahu is not pleased on this day, or inadvertently he was misbehaved, then there can be situations like Rahu Dosha, Kalsarpa Yoga in life.

Astrological approach

According to astrology, iron is also related to Saturn and Rahu planets. When Rahu grows under the influence of Saturn, he can bring mental stress, failure and bitterness in relationships in a person's life.

Ban in folk traditions

In rural areas and traditional families, bread or paratha is not made on the pan on this day, iron-bored items are not run and the use of iron utensils is completely postponed in the house. Women use more things made of clay or copper on this day.

What happens if iron is used by mistake?
