Unlucky Paintings For Home: People love to collect and place artwork in their homes. Artwork not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also changes the look of an interior. Paintings have always been created with the actual purpose of communicating a message. To communicate ideas, people have used images, phrases inside paintings, artwork, colours, and symbols. It is frequently underappreciated how much of a positive influence art has on our lives. According to Vastu, artwork has a profound effect on the subconscious mind and can affect our behaviours and choices in life. However, one must refrain from bringing certain paintings at home since they can bring negativity and spread negative vibes around a setting. Let us check out 5 inauspicious paintings that one should never keep at home. 

5 Inauspicious Paintings To Not Keep At Home 

1. Flowing Water Paintings - According to Vastu, flowing water is an expression of instability, hence having a picture or painting of a river or waterfall represents the flowing nature of things and has an effect on wealth and prosperity.  It implies that any wealth and prosperity you experience will pass quickly through your life and eventually vanish. Therefore, it is suggested against keeping this type of artwork at home.

2. Wild Animals - Even though they may look wonderful, paintings or pictures of wild animals like lions, tigers, black panthers, gorillas, alligators, etc. are best kept away from homes as they can incite rage and violence among the family members. This violence and rage can strain a couple's marriage, cause marital strife, and inflame the feelings of resentment among other members of the family. 

3. Crying Or Sad People - The majority of the time, we are moved by a fine artist's work and lose sight of the positive energy that the piece may radiate. Just like with photos, paintings of objects also contribute equally to the propagation of positive energy. Paintings of weeping or depressed people, animals, etc., convey grief and anxiety. As a result, it has the same impact on those who live there or visit. Thus, it is advisable to keep away from having any of these paintings in our home.

4. Taj Mahal - Even though Taj Mahal is widely known as a symbol of love, Mumtaz, Shahjahan's wife, is buried there, and this fact cannot be overlooked. A grave represents death and passivity. It is never appropriate to hang a picture of a burial in your home, no matter how lovely it may seem. It calls for devastation and death. Therefore, one must not keep a Taj Mahal artwork in the home.
