According to religious beliefs, if barley is sown in the right manner with proper rituals, then it gives auspicious signs. After sowing barley, the container is covered and gradually sprouts appear in it. Then after 9 days, the barley turns green. If the barley grows in white or green color, then it means that happiness and prosperity are about to come to your house.

Barley of this color is inauspicious.

Many times, even after sowing barley with proper rituals, it does not grow properly. Barley not growing properly is an inauspicious sign.
