Practical Vastu Tips & complete guide For Your Mandir

1. The Appropriate Height of the Temple:

The wooden temple should be kept at a height appropriate to the seating arrangement. It should be kept at a height right at the same level as a person’s chest sitting or standing in front of it. The basic idea is to have the Pooja Idols be kept in front of the person.

If the height is lower than that, it would be disrespectful to the Lord. Also, above that height, it would be difficult for the person to actually see the Deities. Thus, the basic thumb rule is to keep the Temple at a height from where the Idols’ feet are higher than the devotee’s chest.

2. Material to be used:

 

 

The Temples are considered ideal when made in wood. According to Vastu Shastra, a temple made of wood is propitious and considered to be more religious. Sheesham Wood (Rosewood), apart from other wood types, is considered auspicious for Home Temple. However, the temple can be made in any wood type. Of all woods, three wood types are commonly referred to for Temple making: Sheesham Wood, Teak Wood (Sagwan or Sagaun), and Mango Wood. Marble Temples are also considered appropriate. Also, the Home Temple should not be placed directly on the floor. It should have some foundation or support above the ground.

3. Directions:

A Temple placed at home or anyplace else is incomplete without correct Vastu Compliant directions. Here are some Vastu tips for temple

  1. As per Vastu Shastra, in order to bring good luck at home, we should place Mandir at the north eastern or eastern corner of the home. It is also known that the north eastern side of a house is filled with positive energy.
  2. It is important that deities face in the west and worshiper face in the east.
  3. The Diya should be placed/lit in a southeast direction.
  4. Pooja Room is a precious part of the home and a perfect place for worshiping God. Worshipers should always keep some insulation while praying or sitting in the Pooja room by using a mat or carpet or a small stool (pooja chowki).

Things to avoid doing while placing Wooden Temples:

  1. The Wooden Temple should not be adjoining to the toilet or washroom; not even above or below it.
  2. A Wooden Temple should not be placed in the bedroom. However, in case there is no other option or you have some space management issues, you can place the Temple at some height and cover it with curtains or a door to conceal the Idols from direct eye contact.
  3. Avoid placing any ancestral pictures inside the Wooden Temple. This is considered inauspicious as per Vastu.
  4. Avoid placing cracked or damaged Idols (Khandit Murti) inside the temple. Also, avoid placing heavy Idols if possible as they might damage the Wooden Mandir.

These are a few of the points that are needed to be considered to avoid any mistakes and have everything positive at home. Wooden Temple rightly chosen and kept carefully can last for years. A Temple can be any size or design as far as it relates to your home. Wooden Temples come in a variety of designs and can also be made exactly as per your requirements. Some have doors in front, some are open. Some have shelves inside for small idols or picture frames, while some only have a center for a single deity. Some just have 4 pillars and a small dome at the top. It really depends on you which seems best for your own place.
