Vidhi to Close an Old Dug Well with the Permission of Varun Devta

A well older than 25 years is a pujya (revered) seat of Varun devta and must never be filled in without a vidhi: transfer its deities into a coconut, lower a kalash, fill it with river sand and soil, and leave the coconut in a working well.

What it does

Closes a wrongly placed well without the business and family losses that follow closing it carelessly.

Where

Old dug well in any wrong zone, such as the South-West or West

Samagri used

  • Coconut (shriphal)
  • Kalash with a swastik marked on it
  • Haldi and other auspicious items to fill the kalash
  • Rope
  • Soil or sand from five rivers, or sea sand
  • Good clean soil

How to do it

  1. 1Before anything else, take a coconut and do the vastu registry: pray to all the devi-devtas at the well, thank them for supplying water for so many years, and tell them that because the well is in a wrong place you are cooling (closing) it.
  2. 2Request all the devi-devtas, rakshak dev, kshetrapal, bhoo-swami and sthan devta of the well to come into the coconut, promising to leave it in a sacred well.
  3. 3Do three pradakshina (circumambulations) of the well and keep the coconut there, taking permission for a few hours.
  4. 4Then pick up the coconut and leave it in another well from which water is drawn daily, not in a closed well.
  5. 5As in the shilanyas vidhi, mark a swastik on a kalash, fill it with haldi and the other items, tie it with rope from both sides and lower it slowly to the bottom of the well.
  6. 6Pour in soil or sand from five rivers (or sea sand if that is not available), then fill the well completely with good soil.

Cautions

  • Never fill in a well older than 25 years without this vidhi, however wrongly it is placed.
  • Never close a well without permission.

Explanation and notes

Many people who simply filled in their wells saw their business die out. A well inside the house gives good results in the right direction and bad results in a wrong direction.

A house whose front faces a cremation ground does not give results even with correct facing and a correct door; most of the hard work drains away.
