Do not keep the idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Ganpati together in the home temple
While it is a common notion that Goddess Lakshmi (What Does Seeing Goddess Lakshmi In Dream Mean?) and Ganesha should be worshipped together, according to astrology, you should never keep the idol of Goddess Lakshmi with Ganesha. They are worshipped together only on the day of Diwali. Along with this, even during Diwali, if you install Goddess Lakshmi along with Ganpati, then she should be installed on the right side of Ganpati only.
Do not keep the standing idol of Goddess Lakshmi
While installing the idol of Goddess Lakshmi at the worship place of your house, you should never install such an idol in which Goddess Lakshmi is in a standing posture. You should opt for an idol in which the Goddess is seated on a lotus and is seen in a happy posture.
