Creating a harmonious living space goes beyond décor—Vastu Shastra emphasizes how the placement of divine idols can channel positive energy, success, and serenity. If you're looking to invite peace, prosperity, and protection into your home, choosing the right Vastu-compliant idols is essential.
Here are the top 5 idols recommended by Vastu experts to bring divine blessings into your home:
1. Lord Ganesha – The Remover of Obstacles
Why Ganesha?
Known as Vighnaharta, Lord Ganesha is the harbinger of good luck and success. According to Vastu, placing a Ganesh idol near the entrance of your home wards off negative energy.
Best Placement:
North-East (Ishan corner) or near the main door, facing inside the house.
Pro Tip:
Choose a Ganesha idol with a trunk tilted to the left and seated on a lotus or in a calm posture for the best energy.
2. Lakshmi Devi – Goddess of Wealth and Abundance
Why Lakshmi?
Goddess Lakshmi is synonymous with financial prosperity and fortune. A brass or Panchaloha Lakshmi idol is considered ideal for invoking her divine blessings.
Best Placement:
North-East or East direction in the pooja room or wealth corner.
Pro Tip:
Pair Lakshmi with Ganesha and Saraswati idols, especially during Diwali, for balanced blessings—wealth, wisdom, and harmony.
3. Lord Shiva – The Cosmic Transformer
Why Shiva?
The meditative and powerful presence of Lord Shiva brings calm, spiritual growth, and clarity. Shiva idols are excellent for homes seeking emotional stability and strength.
Best Placement:
Place a Shiva idol or Shivling in the North direction or the prayer area facing East.
Pro Tip:
Never place a Shivling in the bedroom or directly on the ground. Use a dedicated platform.
4. Hanuman – The Protector Against Negativity
Why Hanuman?
Lord Hanuman brings protection, courage, and energy. He is especially recommended to ward off evil and strengthen the home's positive aura.
Best Placement:
South direction, facing North. Avoid placing in bedrooms or directly in front of the main door.
Pro Tip:
A flying Hanuman idol carrying the Sanjeevani hill is considered highly auspicious.
5. Buddha – The Symbol of Inner Peace and Mindfulness
Why Buddha?
For a calming and peaceful environment, especially in living spaces or meditation corners, a Buddha idol is perfect. The Laughing Buddha variant is great for happiness and financial gains.
Best Placement:
East for enlightenment, North-East for peace, or facing the main door for protection.
Pro Tip:
A meditating Buddha is best for spiritual growth; a laughing Buddha is ideal for joy and prosperity.
