Kalava, the sacred thread tied during religious rituals, is believed to offer spiritual protection. Initially, it acts as a divine shield, filled with the energy of mantras and positive intentions.

For the first 11 days, it guards your aura from negativity, evil eye, and emotional imbalances.

However, most people don't realize that this power fades over time. After about 11 days, the Kalava becomes spiritually neutral — it may look the same, but it no longer protects you.

And after 18 days, it can start absorbing the negative energy from your surroundings.

Instead of blocking harmful vibrations, it begins collecting stress, toxic emotions, and environmental negativity. Wearing an expired Kalava is like wearing dirty clothes, it can weigh you down emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. You may feel more tired, easily irritated, or disconnected from your spiritual practices.

This is why ancient traditions advised changing the Kalava regularly. Replacing it every 11 days keeps your energy fresh and protected.

Discard the old one respectfully, and tie the new one with intention and a simple mantra. This small act can keep your aura clear and strengthen your spiritual journey.
