The temple at home, is a sacred place where we worship God. So, naturally, it must be a positive and peaceful place. The temple area, when placed according to Vastu Shastra, can bring health, prosperity and happiness to the house and its occupants.

Few Principles :

• The light or diya, should be placed on the right side of the person performing a pooja.
• Decorate the temple with fresh flowers. Light a few aroma candles, dhoop or incense sticks, to cleanse the area and create a divine ambiance.
• Photographs of the dead/ancestors, should not be kept in the temple.
• Create a small shelf near the temple, to place the incense, puja materials and holy books.
• Ensure that there are electric points near the temple, so that one can light up the temple during festive days.
• Avoid keeping unnecessary items below the temple or dustbins in this area.
• Some people keep the temple in the bedroom or kitchen. In such cases, hang a curtain in front of the temple, when you are not using the temple.
• Temple should not be against a wall that has a toilet behind it. It should also not be placed below a toilet on the upper floor.
• For the temple space, use white, beige, lavender or light yellow colours.
