Idol & worship rules
- Idols should not face each other, and broken idols must be replaced.

🧭 How to Choose & Install (Buying Guide)
- Confirm the zone. Use a Vastu compass to mark the exact direction/room this remedy applies to before buying.
- Pick genuine material. Prefer natural, energised (pran-pratishtha) items — a consecrated yantra or Devta booster works better than a decorative one.
- Place, don't scatter. Install at the specific marked point, at the right height, kept clean and undisturbed.
- Activate with faith. Follow the installation guide and daily/weekly practice that comes with each item for the first 21 days.
- Need certainty? Ask. For a defective zone or a big decision, a short consultation avoids costly guesswork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which direction should the pooja room face?
The pooja room belongs in the North-East (Ishaan). Idols should face West (worshipper faces East) or face East. Keep it clean, light and elevated.
Where should we not keep the mandir?
Never below a staircase, next to or above a toilet, in a bedroom, or in the South. The North-East is strongly preferred.
Which direction should idols face in the pooja room?
Place idols so they face West or East — the worshipper should ideally face East or North while praying. Idols should not face each other or the door directly.
What is the Vastu remedy for a pooja room in the wrong place?
Where the North-East is not possible, the East or North are alternatives; consecrate with a Shree Yantra and Ishaan Devtas, keep it spotless and elevated, and avoid the prohibited placements above.
