......Can anyone please clarify that shall we light the lamp with wet clothes? please give me explanations too....

Dear Usha,

Many rituals are done after the demise of a person. All these 'ashuba kAryams' are done with wet clothes. The Swami kAryams

are supposed to be done with 'dry madi' clothes. Keeping a lamp facing South, making one line kOlams, rolling rice balls while

eating, washing feet after visiting a temple, taking wet clothes while leaving our relative's house, doing namaskAram to the

direction South / a person who is lying down etc are prohibited, because they are done during 'ashubam' rituals.
