There is great significance in having a puja room at your home as per astrology and the Hindu religion. However, you are supposed to follow the rules of Vastu Shastra so that the peace and happiness of your house is maintained. Let us know about such rules in detail from Astrologer Dr Aarti Dahiya in this article.
Vastu Rules For Home Temple
- The most appropriate and auspicious direction for keeping the home temple is believed to be the northeast direction. This is because the northeast direction is associated with Lord Ishaan in the Hindu religion and keeping the home temple in this direction brings knowledge, wisdom, health and prosperity to the family members.
- You can also keep it in the east direction because according to the scriptures, the face of God in the home temple should always be towards the east. This promotes positive energy in your home.
- The idols of the deities are believed to be a source of positive energy in the house and they should always be kept in the northeast direction.
- If you install the idols of Lord Ganesha and Maa Lakshmi in your home temple, you should make sure that Maa Lakshmi is seated on the right side of Ganapati.
- You should always keep peacock feathers, conch shells, turmeric and sandalwood in the place of worship to attract positive energy and prosperity. This also helps in eliminating negative energy and Vastu Dosh from your house.
- You should never keep broken idols in your home temple to avoid inauspicious effects on your life.
- You must not keep Nataraja or any sharp objects like matchsticks, scissors or knives in the home temple.
- If you want to install a Shivling in your home temple, you have to make sure that it’s not too big but at least bigger than the size of your thumb. Also, you should not keep more than one Shivling in your home.
