Q1. How many Ganesha statues can be kept in the home?
Sri Ganesha is the abode of universal auspiciousness, a fact that might allure you to get more than one Ganesha statue in your home. Vastu experts advise not to bring more than one statue of Ganesha into a space. Two or more idols of Ganesha can cause an imbalance in the energy flow and overpower Riddhi and Siddhi. Choose one divine Sri Ganesha idol for your house, and welcome him with devotion and love to ensure you maximize the boons you receive.
Q2. Can we keep the Ganesha statue at home?
A Sri Ganesha murti is a must-have for your house if you seek the benevolence of the elephant-faced Hindu god, who bestows wealth, wisdom, and success wherever he resides. Vastu experts suggest that a murti of Sri Ganesha made from pure material, showing the Lord in a blissful mood should be placed in your place of worship or home, which brings the divine blessings of Ganesha into your life.
Q3. Which side trunk of the Lord Ganesha statue can be kept at home?
Ritual experts and Vastu rules suggest that the Lord Ganesha statue you bring home should have its trunk turning to the left. In this form, Ganesha is more easily pleased and radiates benevolence in the household. For someone who is looking to worship Sri Ganesha regularly in the home Puja temple, the idol of Ganesha with his trunk to the left is advised.
Q4. Which direction should Ganpati face?
Ganpati Idol should be placed in the east or the west directions of the house. The northeast corner of the house is the best location to set up the Ganesha idol. If the northeast is unavailable then the idol should be placed in a way that we face north or east while offering prayers. Try to face the north direction, since lord Shiva resides on Kailash in the north, hence one should try to make the idol face the north direction. It is considered very auspicious.
Q5. Can you place Ganesha on the floor?
No, we should not place it on the floor. It should be on an altar of the mandir or any heightened surface with respect and reverence. Planning should be done accordingly. One must make a note of the posture of the divinity. According to the experts, the idol must be in the posture of lalitasana. Apart from this, any reclining pose is also considered very lucky, which represents comfort, wealth, and luxury.
