According to Hindu mythology, Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity has a twin sister, Alakshmi, goddess of poverty and suffering. Alakshmi is depicted as an owl along with Lakshmi. As Lakshmi likes sweets and fruits as offerings, which invites her to reside in our houses; Alakshmi, on the other hand, likes sour and hot offerings like nimbu and mirchi to stay out of the house. There is also a scientific reason behind this totka. Lemon and chillies are natural disinfectors. Chilli has medicinal powers. It kills germs keeping insects and pests away. The organic pesticide has a high content of chillies for the same reason. When hung outside the house, chilli keeps the environment germ free.
