Vastu Tips for the Placement of Gods Idols in Home
When it comes to the temple or prayer area in a home, several Vastu Shastra guidelines should be followed to ensure maximum positive effects for the home’s inhabitants. We examine the dos and don’ts
The temple
at home is a sacred place where we worship brass god idols.
So, naturally, it must be a positive and peaceful place. When placed according
to Vastu Shastra, the temple area can bring health, prosperity, and happiness
to the house and its occupants. Although a separate puja room would be ideal,
this is not always possible in metropolitan cities, with space crunch. For such
homes, you can consider a wall-mounted mandir or small corner mandir as per
your requirement.
East is the
direction of the rising Sun and Lord Indra, so pleading facing east leads to
good fate and growth. Praying decorating the west supports attracting wealth.
Facing north helps attract opportunities and positivity. According to Vastu,
facing the south when praying is not recommended.
How should a temple at
home be formed as per Vastu?
When it
comes to constructing the temple, do not place it directly on the floor.
Instead, keep it on a Puja Singhasan for God. "The temple should be made of
marble or wood. Avoid temples made from glass or acrylic. Do not clutter the
temple. Ensure that you do not have multiple idols of the same God or Goddess,
either in a seating or standing position in the temple.
The idol or
photos placed in the temple should not be cracked or damaged, as it considered
is inauspicious," suggests Parmar. According to Vastu Shastra, a home
should not have any God statue more
than nine inches in height. Avoid keeping in the temple at home God's photos
related to war, in which the form of God is angry. Always keep idols of God
with gentle, peaceful, and blessed posture for positive
energy.
One should be able to perform pujas wherever the temple is
kept. During special pujas, the entire family tends to pray together. Hence,
ensure that there is enough space for the family to sit down and pray. In
addition, the temple area should have a good and healthy flow of energy. So,
keep it neat and clean, without dust or cobwebs, and avoid stuffing the space
with too many accessories. Above all, the temple should give you a feeling of
serenity and calmness.
