Vastu Tips For God Idol: Hinduism (Sanatan Dharma) is one of the oldest religions in the world. It does not have a single founder, rather it is a collection of different traditions, beliefs and philosophies. The basic texts of Hindu religion are Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana and Bhagavad Gita. In this religion, Shiva, Vishnu, Devi and many other deities are worshiped and it is believed that their installation in the house brings happiness, peace and prosperity.
Nowadays, it is seen that despite performing puja in many homes, there is no happiness and peace in the family and many times fights or negative energy persists. The main reason behind this is that the idols are not installed properly in the house or their size, location and method are not taken care of. According to Acharya Somprakash Shastri, proper installation of temples and idols in the house is very important for the positive energy of the house. Know in this news what size idols should be kept in the home temple. Also, what are the rules mentioned in the Puranas for installing idols?
What should be the size of the idols in the home temple?
Acharya Somprakash Shastri tells that the size of the idols kept in the house should be 9 inches as per Vastu. It is also called nine fingers. Installing idols larger than 9 inches requires special worship and due process. Small size idols can be easily kept in the house and they can be worshiped regularly.
It is worth noting that if the size of the idol is very large, it becomes difficult to install it and perform daily worship. Therefore, before installing idols larger than 9 inches in ordinary homes, it is necessary to take advice from a qualified Brahmin or Acharya.
Establishment of Shivalinga and other deities
At the same time, the rules for keeping Shivalinga in the house are also mentioned in the Puranas. Shivling made of stone, mercury or crystal can be installed in the house, but it should be only up to the size of the thumb. Narmadeshwar Shivling can also be kept in the house, but for this special mantra and worship is mandatory.
Legislation of ancestors and special idols
He further explains that in some communities of Banaras, ancestral idols of Yamraj and their ancestors are kept in the house. In Panchnarayan Karma, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Yamraj and Tatpurush (idols of ancestors) are kept. By doing this entire process correctly, happiness and peace remains in the house.
If you want to install an idol larger than 9 inches in the house, then proper consecration and daily worship is mandatory. For this, bhog, prasad and service have to be arranged daily by a Brahmin or Acharya. Keeping big idols without proper and regular puja can have the opposite effect instead of bringing positive energy to the house.

Correct arrangement of statues is necessary
The location of the temple in the house and the direction of the idols is also very important. The temple should be kept in a quiet and high part of the house. Lamp, ghee and incense should be used regularly in front of the idols. Along with this, the timing of puja should be regular and special rituals should be followed on special occasions.
According to Acharya Somprakash Shastri, positive energy is maintained in the house by keeping the idols in the right size, right place and worshiping them properly. It not only brings happiness, peace and prosperity to the family members, but is also beneficial for the health and mental peace of children and the elderly.
