Seeing a Wagtail (Khanjan) — What the Texts and Tradition Say
According to Brihat Samhita, the first sighting of a wagtail at sunrise is the best; a sighting at sunset is said to bring less.
A wagtail on a lotus, a clean spot or green grass signals prosperity.
The Samhita says the first sighting's effect shows within about a year.
Brihat Samhita's general rule reverses omens for women; no separate rule is given for this one.
