Are you constantly worried about the positive and negative aspects of installing a wooden temple in your lovely abode? And, is this stress is delaying the purchase of a home temple? If yes, then you are certainly in the right place.
Being an astrologer and a vivid reader, I am here to tell you about the different aspects to consider while you are assembling a mandir in your abode. This will let you relish calmness, positivity and other ample benefits.
The home temple is the most sacred and beautiful furniture unit in the abode. It is from where our day starts with the blessings of God and also ends with the blessing of God. It is a habit that we can’t ever leave because it gives us inner peace.
Seeing the importance of this furniture unit in most of the abodes, the online furniture market is full of the different styles, sizes, designs and types of wooden temple for home.
The beautiful design can be selected according to the theme of your abode and other existing furniture units. But, the question lies in the installation, i.e., where to place it? Which direction should it face? And many more other questions.
I have penned down the tips, read them and get a peaceful environment in your abode.
1. Appropriate height of the temple:
Yes! For a better vibe, we have to be careful about the height of the wooden temple. It should be kept in accordance with the seating.
- It should be kept at such a height that it is the same level as a person’s chest. This is because God’s idol should be always above us.
- The idols should be in front of the person. Nor low, nor high!
These two points are important, as if the height of the pooja mandir is lower than the person, then it would be disrespectful to God.
So, the ideal height is just above the person’s chest!
2. A pure material for the structure:
According to the Vastu Shastra, a temple made of wood is considered to be more religious and auspicious than the other material.
Sheesham, mango or acacia wood is considered best for the home temple construction. The next material that you can consider is marble! Even marble is used in many places for the temples.
3. Directions for a better worship time:
The direction in which the home temple faces is considered important! If you place the home temple in the wrong direction then it would attract bad energies and bad luck to your abode.
For a better vibe in the abode, follow the below-mentioned direction precautions:
- Placing home temple in the north-east or east corner int he home is considered as the perfect direction. It will bring good luck to your lovely abode. This direction is considered to fill the house with a positive aura.
- Keep the idols of Gods and Goddesses facing the west direction. So according to this, the direction of the worshipper will be in the east while standing in front of the home temple.
- Lit the earthen lamps in the south-east direction. It is considered auspicious.
Follow the above-mentioned direction tips for setting a positive aura in the room.
4. Things not to do:
We always do few things thinking that it might not affect the worshipping, so I would like to bring a light on the things that you think aren’t important but holds a significant role in attracting the negative vibes!
- Keep your home temple assembled away from the washroom.
- Don’t install the pooja mandir in the bedroom.
- Close the door of the temple after worshipping.
It is advised that you assemble the pooja mandir in the north-east corner of the abode. It should be a separate room or in the living room or in the kitchen, nowhere else.
Conclusion:
Be it a free-standing or a wall mounted pooja mandir, make sure you assemble it in the right direction. Highlighted above are the Vastu tips that you need to follow while establishing the pooja mandir!
