Vastu Rules for Pooja Room at Home
So, let’s not make the discussion boring but pay attention to the Vastu rules/principles for the Pooja/Prayer room at home.
Orientation of Puja Room
Northeast is the best direction to design your puja room. It is the most auspicious zone. You can choose the East or North to build your puja room if the Northeast side is unavailable. The south-facing puja room is considered the most inauspicious.
- Do not position your puja room under the stairs or near your bathroom.
- Refrain from building a puja room on the top floor or roof.
- The doors/windows of the puja room should open towards the north or east.
Idol Placement in the Pooja Room
It is recommended not to position idols too close to the wall. The idols should be positioned in the Northeast direction, and they should not face the door. The idols should be positioned at least six inches above the ground.
- Don’t keep chipped or broken idols in the pooja room. It brings negativity. Always light the lamp in the Southeast direction.
Color of the Prayer Room
It is best to paint your pooja room with a light color. Cream or beige is the best color for a pooja room. You can also go for light blue, yellow, or white.
- If your pooja room is designed in the Northeast, East, or North direction, avoid painting the room Red. Remember, Red is not the universal color for the puja room.
Other Necessary Pooja Room Vastu Tips
- Don’t store any other things in your pooja room except holy objects like religious books, Jap Mala, puja utensils, and other puja items.
- Never build storage shelves or cabinets above the idols.
- The pooja room should be built on the ground floor of your house. If your house is small, you can consider making a place for prayer with a mandir in your living room.
