Let us know why grandmothers say this.
You may find these words of grandmothers strange or a myth. But the reason for this has also been explained in the scriptures. If you follow the advice given by your grandmothers, you can avoid any untoward or inauspicious incidents in future. The well-being of the family is hidden in these words of grandmothers. Let us know why three chapatis are not served in the meal.
Why 3 rotis should not be served in a plate
This rule mentioned in the scriptures is followed even today in many homes and people do not serve three rotis in a plate. Some people do not even pack three rotis in the tiffin. Astrologer Anish Vyas explains that in astrology, three numbers are considered inauspicious. That’s why people serve only 2 or 4 rotis. If for some reason 3 rotis are needed then serve 2 rotis first and one roti later. Or you can serve 3 rotis after breaking one edge of the roti. With this the number of rotis becomes four. This belief has been prevalent since ancient times and even today people continue to believe it without any reason. Although there is no scientific basis for this.
These are also the reasons
- In Sanatan Dharma, three rotis are kept in the food that is taken out in the name of the plate of the deceased person. Mainly during Pitru Paksha, three rotis are served in the plate of ancestors.
- It is said in the scriptures that serving three chapatis in a plate is like feeding a dead person. Therefore never serve three rotis to anyone.
- In astrology, number 3 is considered inauspicious. Therefore, the number 3 is not included in any auspicious work, nor is any auspicious work started from the third date. Odd numbers like 5,7,11, 21 are considered auspicious.
