Old or Worn-Out Clothes
While seemingly charitable, donating old or worn-out clothes can be counterproductive. Recipients often lack the resources to mend or alter damaged garments. This can lead to frustration and a sense of receiving something useless, undermining the intended act of kindness. It’s crucial to ensure donated clothing is in good condition, clean, and presentable to truly benefit those in need.
Do not Donate Black Coloured Clothes
Black colour is considered as an inauspicious in Hinduism. People believed that negative energy flows through black colour. Donating black coloured clothes on the day of Makar Sankranti leads to inauspicious results. Donation of black coloured clothes also increases the inauspicious effects of planets. Therefore, do not donate black coloured clothes on the day of Makar Sankranti even by mistake. Yellow coloured clothes should be donated on Makar Sankranti. By doing this, one gets the blessings of Lord Surya.
Broken or Damaged Items
Donating broken or damaged items is not only impractical but also disrespectful to the recipient. It places an unnecessary burden on them to repair or dispose of something unusable. True charity involves offering items of value that can genuinely improve someone’s life. By donating functional and useful goods, we ensure our generosity truly benefits those in need.
Oil Should Not be Donated
Donations of oil should not be made on Makar Sankranti even by mistake. Doing so is not auspicious at all. Whoever donates oil on this day may have health-related problems. Donation of oil on Makar Sankranti has an adverse effect on the deeds of the person. We should not donate oil on Makar Sankranti for this reason.
