According to Hindu scriptures, if one is having pitra dosh and dev dosh, or any of the two, then lightening camphor in one\u2019s home is considered beneficial. The flame emerged on lightening the Kapur is believed to be symbolic of Lord Shiva\u2019s third eye. It eradicates all the negative energies from the surroundings and creates a positive environment. Not only, it spreads positivity but it also kills the harmful bacteria present in the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Used in Hawans and Aartis, Kapur can make the surroundings perfumed and has healing properties as well.
