Vastu Tips:  Specific rules and beliefs on things that should be avoided after sunset exist in many cultures and traditions. These approaches have their origins in Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian architectural philosophy that places an emphasis on harmony and positive energy shift in a home. This ancient science holds that some evening activities can have negative impacts on money, prosperity, and general well-being. Sunsets are very important in Vastu Shastra because they mark the change from daytime to night. According to popular belief, the environment undergoes a shift during this period, so special care must be taken to preserve interpersonal peace. The Vastu Shastra principles direct people to make thoughtful decisions and refrain from doing things that can upset the harmony of positive energy in their houses. Let us know what are those things which should be avoided after the sunset. 

Vastu Tips: Things To Avoid After The Sunset 

1. Cutting Nails And Hair - Hair and nail trimming at night are thought to bring ill luck. Goddess Lakshmi supposedly enters homes at night. Cutting one's hair or nails may result in dirt being tracked into the home, which is said to be demeaning to Goddess Lakshmi. 

2. Keeping Unwashed Utensils - Never leave unwashed cooking utensils out overnight. If for any reason you can't wash them at night, don't keep them in the kitchen. Be sure to keep the kitchen tidy. Leaving dirty dishes on the kitchen counter while you sleep leads to poverty and ongoing debt. Keep your kitchen neat and organised at all times if you want to bring Goddess Lakshmi into your home.

3. Cleaning The House - According to Vastu Shastra, using the broom in the morning is favourable. It is misfortunate to use one indoors after dark.  Families may have to deal with issues of well-being, contentment, and harmony as a result of using brooms after sunset.  

4. Washing, Combing Or Sleeping With Open Hair - Since it is thought that negative energies continue to surround the environment after sunset, ladies who comb their hair or leave their hair open at night are more likely to experience the ill consequences. Women should not sleep with open hair. Leaving your hair out while you sleep is unfortunate.

5. Washing Or Drying Clothes - Washing and drying clothes after sunset are regarded as detrimental practices in Vastu Shastra. It is thought that doing these activities in the evenings brings negative vibes into the home, which causes depression and trouble. Laundry chores should be finished before dusk to maintain a peaceful living environment.
