Complete Vastu Shastra Guide for Placing Deity Murtis at Home
In Vedic Vastu Shastra, placing sacred deity idols in the correct cardinal directions aligns your domestic sanctuary with positive cosmic vibrations, dispels architectural doshas, and brings peace, health, and prosperity to the family.
1. The Ideal Direction for Home Mandir (Temple)
The most auspicious zone for any home temple is the North-East (Ishanya Kon). This direction is ruled by Lord Shiva and Jupiter (Brihaspati), representing pure wisdom, tranquility, and divine consciousness.
2. Cardinal Orientation by Deity
- Lord Ganesha: Place facing East or North. The trunk should preferably curve toward his left (Vamamukhi) for home worship.
- Radha Krishna: Place in North-East or East. Radiates unconditional affection and strengthens marital harmony.
- Lord Hanuman: Place facing South or South-West to neutralize malefic energies, fear, and negativity.
- Mata Lakshmi: Always place Goddess Lakshmi to the right of Lord Ganesha in sitting posture (Padmasana).
- Lord Shiva: Place in North or North-East. Avoid placing multiple Shiva Lingams in a single domestic altar.
