Doorsill (Dehleej)

There are no doorsills in houses these days. This is not acceptable in shastras. Atleast the main door should have a doorsill. Before entering a new house we touch the dehleej of the temple and then worship the deity. Dehleej of the temple is considered to be pure and important. Our house is also our temple so why is there no dehleej!

The advantage of having a dehleej on the main door is that the troubles and calamities remain outside the dehleej. Even snakes and lizards cannot enter the house. In our society ladies worship the dehleej with haldi and kumkum and wish for happiness of the people living inside. Even a bride enters the house after the worship of dehleej. So presence of dehleej in a house is extremely important.
