Key Questions Answered
According to astrological rules for daily worship, you should never use broken camphor pieces or powdered camphor, and you must light whole and unbroken camphor instead. Similarly, betel leaves used for tamboolam should not be cut or torn anywhere, as offering spoiled leaves or broken nuts compromises the sanctity of the ritual.
No, flowers that have already been offered to God should not be reused under any circumstances and should instead be placed at the base of a plant or in the backyard after puja. However, ancient religious traditions make a special exception for bilva leaves dear to Lord Shiva, which can be washed with clean water and reused.
Because items used for worshipping God are sacred, placing them directly on the ground is considered wrong. They should always be kept on a wooden plank, a clean cloth, or on God's seat to maintain proper respect and cleanliness during rituals.
