Vastu Shastra tips for a temple at home

  • When it comes to the temple or prayer area in a
    home, there are
  • several Vastu Shastra guidelines that should be
    followed, to ensure
  • maximum positive effects for the homes
    inhabitants. We examine the
  • dos and donts
  • The temple at home, is a sacred place where we
    worship God. So,
  • naturally, it must be a positive and peaceful
    place. The temple area, when
  • placed according to Vastu Shastra, 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, where there is space
  • crunch.
  • The temple area, should be a zone of tranquility
    that is full of divine energy, says
  • Mumbai-based Nitien Parmar of VastuPlus. This is
    a space where one surrenders to
  • the Almighty and gains strength. If one does not
    have the space to allocate an entire
  • room for the temple, one can set up a small altar
    on the east wall, towards the north
  • east zone of the house. Avoid placing the temple
    in the south, south-west or south
  • east zones of house, adds Parmar.

Ideal directions as per Vastu for the home temple
  • Jupiter is the lord of the north-east direction,
    which is also called as the as Ishan kona,
    explains Jayshree Dhamani, a Vastu Shastra and
    astrology expert. Ishan is Ishwar or God. Thats
    how it is the direction of God/Jupiter. Hence, it
    is advisable to keep the temple there. Moreover,
    the earths tilt is also towards the north-east
    direction only and it moves with the starting
    point of the north-east. Hence, this corner is
    like the engine of a train, which pulls the
    entire train. The placement of the temple in this
    area of the house is also like that it pulls
    the energies of the entire house towards it and
    then, takes it forward, says Dhamani. A temple
    placed in the centre of the house a region that
    is called as the Brahmasthan is also said to be
    auspicious and can bring prosperity and good
    health for the inmates, adds Dhamani.

How should a temple at home be constructed as per
Vastu
  • When it comes to constructing the temple, do not
    place it directly on the floor. Instead, keep it
    on a raised platform or pedestal, advises Parmar.
    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.
  • One should be able to perform poojas, wherever
    the temple is kept. During special poojas, the
    entire family tends to pray together. Hence,
    ensure that there is enough space for the family
    to sit down and pray. The temple area should have
    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.

Dos and donts for decorating a temple at home
  • The light or diya, should be placed on the right
    side of the person performing a pooja.
  • Decorate the temple with fresh flowers. Light a
    few aroma candles, dhoop or incense sticks, to
    cleanse the area and create a divine ambiance.
  • Photographs of the dead/ancestors, should not be
    kept in the temple.
  • Create a small shelf near the temple, to place
    the incense, puja materials and holy books.
  • Ensure that there are electric points near the
    temple, so that one can light up the temple
    during festive days.
  • Avoid keeping unnecessary items below the temple
    or dustbins in this area.
  • Some people keep the temple in the bedroom or
    kitchen. In such cases, hang a curtain in front
    of the temple, when you are not using the temple.
  • Temple should not be against a wall that has a
    toilet behind it. It should also not be placed
    below a toilet on the upper floor.
  • For the temple space, use white, beige, lavender
    or light yellow colours.
