Vastu for idols: In Hindu religion, the home temple is considered the most sacred place, although there are many rules and beliefs related to worship, which are considered necessary to follow. One of these important rules is related to installing the idols of gods and goddesses in the temple. According to Vastu Shastra and religious beliefs, more than one idol or picture of the same deity should not be kept in the home temple. Especially keeping two idols of some Gods and Goddesses together can cause serious Vaastu defects and can lead to inauspicious results. If you are also unknowingly making this mistake, then correct it immediately, because it can have a negative impact on the happiness, peace and prosperity of your home.
Why should not two idols of the same deity be kept?
Lack of concentration in worship: According to religious beliefs, having multiple idols of the same God disrupts concentration during worship. The devotee’s attention gets divided, due to which the full results of the puja are not achieved.
Energy imbalance: Every idol in the temple radiates a special energy. Keeping two or more images of the same energy at the same place creates an imbalance of energy. This can increase unrest, tension and negativity in the house.
Fear of Vaastu defects: It is believed that installing more than one idol of certain deities like Shivling or Ganesh ji in the same temple causes Vaastu defect, which can cause financial loss and household troubles.
Which idols should be avoided when kept together?
More than one Shivalinga: Keeping more than one Shivalinga in the home temple is considered extremely inauspicious. This creates negative energy and causes frequent interruptions in work.
Multiple Ganesh idols: Lord Ganesha is considered the first worshipper, but according to Vastu, not more than two idols of Lord Ganesha should be kept in the home temple. According to some beliefs, it is best to keep only one idol.
Face-to-Face Statues: Even if for some reason there are two pictures or idols of the same god in your temple, never keep them facing each other. By doing this negative energy is transmitted.
More than one Shaligram: Two Shaligram idols of God should not be kept together in the house, this can disturb the happiness and peace of the house.
What to do if two idols are already placed?
Install in different direction: If there are two idols of the same god, then change the direction of their faces.
Keep in a separate place: If the idols are small, then remove one of them from the temple and install it in some other holy and appropriate place in the house.
Donate: You can also donate another idol with devotion to another temple or give it to a needy devotee.
