Here’s a clear step-by-step guide for preparing a lemon deepam during Rahukaalam (very commonly done for Goddess Durga/Kali for removing obstacles and negative energies):

🌼 Items Required

Fresh lemons (1, 2, 5, 7, or 9 depending on your sankalpam)

Gingelly oil (sesame oil) or ghee

Cotton wicks

Matchbox

Plate or tray (to place lamps)

Flowers and kumkum (optional, for offering)

🔅 Preparation of Lemon Deepam

Select Lemons – Choose firm, fresh lemons without spots or cuts.

Cut Lemons – Cut each lemon into half (across, not lengthwise).

Scoop Out Pulp – Gently remove the inner pulp and seeds using a spoon or your fingers, leaving only the shell.

Prepare Wick Place – Turn the lemon halves upside down (outer yellow skin down, inside white facing up).

Add Oil/Ghee – Pour gingelly oil or ghee into each lemon half.

Place Wick – Insert a cotton wick so that one end remains dipped in oil and the other stands above the edge for lighting.

🙏 Offering During Rahukaalam

Place the lemon deepams on a clean plate or in front of Goddess Durga/Kali (or at Peepal tree/Naga devatha as per tradition).

Light the deepams exactly during Rahukaalam.

Offer flowers, kumkum, and pray with devotion.

Chanting Durga Ashtothram, Kali mantras, or simply “Om Dum Durgaye Namaha” is considered powerful.

After deepam burns out, dispose the lemon shells respectfully outside under a tree or in flowing water (not in dustbin).

✨ Belief: Lighting lemon deepams during Rahukaalam removes negativity, helps overcome enemies, and grants strength, courage, and peace of mind.
