According to traditional beliefs found in scriptures like the Vishnu Purana and Garuda Purana, there are certain household items that should never be given to others to avoid inviting poverty and bad luck. These items include the primary lamp used for daily worship, certain plants considered sacred like turmeric, neem, curry leaf, gooseberry, and betel leaf, as well as sesame seeds, which are associated with ancestral rituals and can transfer “ancestral defects” if shared.
