If you hang this stem on the door of your house, then negative powers will not wander around.

There are many mythological beliefs in Bageshwar district of Uttarakhand, which are followed well even today. One of these beliefs is related to the Caruva plant. This plant is considered a symbol of purity in the mountains. According to beliefs, whenever a child is born in someone’s house in the mountains, the stem of Kairuva is planted at the threshold of the house. By doing this, people coming into the house pass through the threshold and come out purified. (Report: Lata Prasad / Bageshwar)
