To increase positive energy in life and maintain prosperity, you are advised to try some special Vastu remedies on this day. Let us know about these Vastu remedies in detail from Jyotishacharya Pandit Ramesh Bhojraj Dwivedi.
Choose the right place for the Ganpati idol
According to Vastu Shastra, it is important to have the right place for the idol of Lord Ganesha. If you are going to install Ganpati at home, then the best direction for this is North-East. This direction is also called Ishaan Kon and in this direction, not only Ganpati but idols and temples of other gods and goddesses should be installed. North-East direction is considered the best direction for spiritual growth and positive energy.
If this direction is not available in your house, then you can also place the idol of Ganpati in the east or west direction. Ganpati should not be installed under the stairs or near the bathroom even by mistake.
Choose the right Ganesha idol
While choosing the idol of Lord Ganesha, you should take special care that the material and posture of the idol is correct. It is advisable to install clay idols on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi and their immersion is also done on Chaturdashi Tithi.
Usually you are advised to install the idol of sitting Ganapati. The nose of the idol installed in the house should always be on the left side. This type of idol is called Vaagi Ganesha idol. Such an idol is considered favorable for creating an atmosphere of peace and prosperity in the house.
Keep the height of the Ganpati idol correct.
While placing the idol, make sure that it faces north, east or west. The north direction is of special importance as it is considered to be the direction of Lord Kubera, the god of wealth and placing Lord Ganesha facing this direction brings prosperity and happiness.
According to Vastu principles, the idol should always be kept clean to maintain a balanced flow of energy in the house. The idol of Ganesha should always be kept on a high platform or seat decorated with red-yellow cloth, these colors are associated with Lord Ganesha and symbolize auspiciousness and prosperity.
Ganpati Puja Remedies
According to Vastu Shastra, light plays an important role as it is associated with energy and positivity. To attract positive energy on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, you should keep your house illuminated, especially the north-east direction. If you light a ghee lamp at this place, it can also be especially fruitful.
The area around the idol of Lord Ganesha should be decorated with flowers and lights should be on all the time. It is also considered very auspicious if you make rangoli at the place of worship where Ganpati is being installed.
It is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene
One of the basic principles of Vastu Shastra is to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Whenever you install Ganpati, keep the place clean. For this, clean the place of worship regularly and remove stale flowers or offerings. Cleanliness of the place reflects the purity of energy and increases the flow of positive energy in your home.
Put a festoon at the main entrance
If you put a toran of mango leaves or fresh flowers on the main door of the house on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, then it is very auspicious for you. It is believed that a toran of fresh flowers and leaves brings energy to your house and this remedy helps in bringing positive energy through the main door of the house. It is said that this Vastu remedy always maintains happiness and peace in your house.
Wear clothes of colours that suit the Vastu
On the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, you are advised to wear clean and appropriate coloured clothes. It is believed that during this time you should wear red, yellow and green colour, especially emerald, all these colours are considered to be symbols of auspiciousness. Black colour should not be used during puja on this day. In Vastu, black colour is associated with negative energy, hence you are advised to stay away from this colour.
