Explanation:
For those who have been born and brought up in Indian households are accustomed to the various superstitions followed. Even though most of them sound meaningless and vague to us, most of them have scientific reason behind them. Our ancestors studied the intricacies of daily lives and formed few rules which later on turned into superstitions because Indians blindly follow anything remotely related to religion

- Do not cut nails after sunset You must have heard this warning a lot of times from your parents but did you ever get a convincing answer? Probably no. In earlier times, when there was limited supply of electricity, people avoided cutting nails after sunset because of hygienic reasons - one would not know if the nail particles get stuck to the feet and are carried inside the room
- Women not allowed in temples during menstruation Earlier, women did not have the convenience of sanitary napkins and few other pain reliever pills. Temples used to be at a distance and it used be tedious for them to go there and spend long hours in the rituals for the day. Hence women were not allowed in the temples so that they could be home and rest. We clearly misinterpreted the concern of our ancestors
- Don’t go near peepal tree at night Most of us know the reason behind this popular saying - trees release carbon dioxide during nighttime. So, there is no truth in the belief that peepal tree is inhabited by spirits and ghosts, they might scare you during that time.
- Hanging lemon and chillis at the entrance We have been following the ‘Nimbu Mirchi’ ritual to avoid evil vibes and spirits but there is a scientific reason behind the superstition. Lemon and chilli, both have insecticidal properties which keep insects away. In a way, it was a way to protect the house/ shop from insects entering.
