Do you know why onions and garlic are not used in Prasad in Hinduism?
There is a strange mythological story behind this ban. During the churning of the ocean, the gods and demons simultaneously drank nectar. When Lord Vishnu was making the gods drink nectar by fooling the medicine man in the form of Mohini, at that time, the animal Swarabhanu disguised himself as one of the gods and drank the immortal nectar. But when Lord Vishnu realized this, he severed his head with his Sudarshan Chakra. But even then, half of the nectar reached his mouth and half his body. His split body. The one whose head is Rahu and whose body becomes immortal as Ketu. But due to the cutting of the head, some drops of nectar fell on the ground of this world. From which onion and garlic originate.
Therefore, according to mythology, these onions and garlic are seen as nectar, from which many types of deadly diseases are made. But they are not used in the worship of any god. Because of its origin. From the mouth of a demon, it is considered a leftover fruit. It is said in his words that those who consume onion and garlic in excess, their body and mind become plagued with tamasic food, which is darkness, laziness, and desire. The complainer gradually becomes like their intellect and demons.
