This directly affects the results of worship and the flow of positive energy in the home. A fundamental principle of Vastu Shastra is that the devotee (the person performing the puja) should always face an auspicious direction during worship. The direction of the idols of deities is determined based on this principle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">The Best Direction Combination<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">The most auspicious and energetic position in the puja room is one where the deity faces west and the worshipper faces east.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">The east is the best direction for the devotee. This is the direction of sunrise and knowledge\/brilliance. Worshipping facing this direction increases concentration, provides positive energy, and brings strength and wisdom to life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">If the deity faces west, the devotee worships facing east. The idols of deities are placed facing west.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Place the idols so that they face west, allowing you to sit facing east.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Second Best Direction Combination<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">The devotee\u2019s face north is considered to be the direction of Kubera, the god of wealth. Worshipping facing this direction attracts wealth, prosperity, career success, and happiness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">If the deity faces south, the idols are placed facing south.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Place the idols so that they face south, allowing you to sit facing north.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Prohibited Directions and Important Rules<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"listOncontentArticle\">\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">The devotee\u2019s face south is considered to be the direction of Yama. Worshipping facing this direction is considered inauspicious, as it can bring restlessness and prevent the full benefits of the worship.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">It is forbidden to place idols facing south alone. This direction pushes energy outward.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">If the deity faces north, the devotee must face south, which is prohibited in Vaastu.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">God Face in Pooja Room Most Important Rule<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">It is always considered most auspicious for the prayer room in the home to be located in the northeast corner (Ishan Kon). This direction is the center of divine energy and positivity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">In the temple, the idols should not have their backs touching the wall. There should be at least a 1-inch gap between them and the wall to maintain the flow of energy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Two idols\/pictures should never be placed facing each other. This causes a clash of energies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Idols or pictures of the deity should always be placed above the ground, on a pedestal or altar. Their height should be such that their feet are parallel to or slightly higher than the devotee\u2019s chest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Idols of fierce deities such as Goddess Kali, Shani Dev, or Bhairava should not be placed in the home temple; these idols are worshipped with special rituals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><em><span class=\"cf0\">(The author Chirag Daruwalla is the son of Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chirag Daruwalla\" title=\"Chirag Daruwalla\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/profile_png-2023-11-0b236c5bde2486acf6df5c80e8e36a3c.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-daruwalla-27741.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Chirag Daruwalla<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Daruwalla, a renowned Indian astrologer with 18+ years of experience, provides expert guidance in career, health, finance, business, and more.
