According to RBI guidelines, banks are responsible for losses in lockers due to fire, theft, or burglary. However, they are not liable for losses caused by natural calamities like floods or earthquakes. The compensation is capped at 100 times the annual locker rent, regardless of the actual value of the items stored. Since banks do not know the contents of the locker, experts advise caution when storing high-value items. https://tamil.samayam.com/business/business-news/who-is-responsible-for-the-disappearance-of-gold-and-silver-from-a-bank-locker-check-rules-here/articleshow/133184367.cms

During Shravan Maas, offering Bilva leaves (Bel Patra) to Lord Shiva holds immense significance. According to mythology, after consuming poison during Samudra Manthan, these cooling leaves were offered to Shiva to soothe his body. The three leaves symbolize Shiva's three eyes, his Trishul, and the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh). It is also believed that the Bilva tree emerged from Goddess Parvati. Offering fresh, unbroken leaves with the chant 'Om Namah Shivaya' during Shravan is said to fulfill devotees' wishes and remove negativity. https://www.gujaratijagran.com/astrology/shravan-month-2026-why-should-you-offer-three-leaf-bilva-patra-to-lord-shiva-1969555
