If you are also building a temple in your house then follow these rules of Vastu!

While making anything in the house, one must keep Vaastu in mind. While building a temple inside the house, special attention should be paid to the directions. Vastu Shastra also tells the rules for building a temple in the house. It also gives guidelines regarding puja rituals, installation of idols of deities, offerings etc. Let's know about them:

Direction and size of God's idol:

The temple should be built in the east or north direction only. If a Shiva Linga is kept in the house, it should not be bigger than a thumb. But if it is big then a separate temple should be built in a clean place outside the house. No idol in the prayer area should be taller than 6 inches.

Tender

It is very important to offer food to any deity. Food should be consumed only after offering it to God. The quantity of prasad depends on the size of the idols. For small idols installed in our homes, the amount of food offered is the same as a person eats in a regular meal.

Prayer:

No deity should remain without worship. Each deity should be worshiped in the prayer area as per their respective customs. Tamasic and Satvik gods should not be kept together. For example, fierce deities like Bhairava, Pratyangira or Kali should not be placed with sattvik deities like Lord Rama or Lord Krishna.
