Devotion to Goddess Durga wards off all dangers and evils from our house, family and body. The reason why lemon lamps are lit in temples in house during raagu kaal is to ward off the influence of Lord Raahu. Timing is friday by 10.30 Am to 12 PM during morning hours and sunday by 4.30 PM to 6 PM during evening hours. If you can’t light lemon lamps, light ordinary lamps with oil or ghee. If not on above time, at least light any time in morning or evening on any days.

Rahu and kethu are responsible for breath – inhaling and exhaling respectively. So people who have Asthma, respiratory problems or problems in the left side of the body like left eyes to left leg must worship Goddess Durga by listening to Durga chalisa or if possible light lemon lamps on friday and sunday in a safe place. Ketu represents the anal part of body. people who have problems in kidney, Reproductive organs, and problems in pregnancy etc can worship Lord Ganesha and Goddess Durga. parents worried about their children’s education can also worship Goddess Durga along with Saraswati.


Take a lemon and press it on floor or any hard surface few times to make it become less harder.Cut the lemon in two halves. Take off all the juice by pressing in a cup, make sure all the flesh is completely off. Invert the lemon gently in such a way that it makes a cup like structure where u can pour oil or ghee. Sometimes, the lemon will create a whole in center which must not be used and that’s why you have to buy extra lemons. Then take 2 wicks, Pour oil or ghee and light it. You can pour extra oil or ghee while doing prayers, if u needs the lamps to continue burning.
