Best Direction For Temple: In Hindu religion, the home temple is not only a place of worship, but it is also considered the center of spiritual energy of the house. It is believed that if the temple is established in the right direction in the house, then there is happiness and peace in the family, mental stress is reduced and God’s blessings are received. At the same time, a place of worship built in the wrong direction can sometimes cause negative effects. In such a situation, some special rules have been given in Vastu Shastra regarding the direction of the temple of the house, following which is considered auspicious.
In which direction should the home temple be?
Vaastu Shastra According to this, it is considered most auspicious to build the temple of the house in the north-east direction i.e. in the north-east corner. This direction is considered the direction of the gods and is also said to be the biggest source of spiritual energy. It is believed that by worshiping in the North-East corner, the mind does not wander and a positive atmosphere is maintained in the house. If for some reason it is not possible to build a temple in the north-east corner, then the place of worship can also be built in the north or east direction. It is considered auspicious for a person to face east or north while worshiping.
At which places temples should not be located?
According to Vastu Shastra, a home temple should never be built below the toilet, bathroom or stairs. Apart from this, one should also avoid installing a temple in the bedroom. If it is necessary to keep a temple in the bedroom due to lack of space, then it is considered better to keep it covered with a curtain or a wooden door. It is not advisable to make a place of worship very close to the kitchen or in a place where there is constant noise.
Keep these things in mind while keeping idols in the temple
According to Vastu, too many idols should not be kept in the puja room. Especially one should avoid keeping many idols or pictures of the same deity. Keeping a broken idol or fragmented picture in the temple is also considered inauspicious. It is important to clean the place of worship from time to time and maintain it properly.
