Key Factors to Consider When Purchasing a Ganesh Murti for Your Home

Here are some important things to keep in mind when buying a Ganesha statue for your home:

Size of the Idol

Choosing the right size Ganpati idol is important to ensure it complements your space perfectly. At Pepperfry, we offer Ganesha idols in various sizes up to 3 feet to suit different areas. Measure the height, width, and depth of the area where you want to place the idol. The size should be proportionate and leave a 6-inch gap from the platform edges. Oversized statues can make the space look cluttered. If placing the murti as a focal point against the wall, ensure the size matches the wall length. Pick compact idols that complement your existing decor and available space.

Material and Finish

Consider factors like durability, maintenance, and aesthetics while deciding on the material. Metallic finishes like brass or bronze need occasional polishing to retain the shine, while marble, wood, or polyresin are easier to maintain. Painted finishes depict fine details but can fade over time. Go for marble, brass, or bronze for pooja rooms and fibre, resin, or wood for low maintenance. Match the finish & colour to your existing decor - opt for brighter murtis for traditional homes and muted, minimalist idols for modern spaces.

Design and Posture

Based on your decor, choose between traditional or contemporary designs. Traditional seated Ganpati designs in a lotus position are most common. For contemporary homes, you can opt for minimalist standing murtis. Energetic dancing Ganesh or musical idols add interest. Ensure the posture and trunk positioning appear pleasant and natural. Match the colour palette of the murti base or backdrop to your wall colour.

Placement

According to Vastu, find the right spot to channel positive energy. The northeast corner or living room are suitable placements, while the bedroom and kitchen are inauspicious. Place the murti on a small pedestal or platform a few inches above ground level. Based on direction principles, face the idol outward, inward, or sideways. Avoid locating it near electrical appliances, and ensure the sacred deity faces an auspicious direction.

Budget

Depending on size, materials, finishing, and details, Ganesh idols prices can range from Rs. 200 to Rs. 20,000. Smaller tabletop idols are affordable, while large intricate bronze or marble murtis are premium-priced. Pick an idol that matches your budget without compromising on build quality and aesthetics. Authentic, intricate works warrant higher price tags.

Auspiciousness

Most importantly, pick an idol that appeals to you visually and spiritually and exudes tranquillity and pleasantness. Opting for idols that give positive vibes will ensure their presence brings good fortune. While finalising, evaluate if the expression, proportions, and workmanship instil a sense of divinity or sacredness when you look at them.

Placement of a Ganesha Murti in Accordance with Vastu Principles

According to Vastu Shastra, placing a Ganesha murti at home can enhance positive energy and bring good luck. Here are some Vastu guidelines for placing your Ganesh idol:

• The Northeast corner or the Ishan direction of the house is the most suitable spot for placing Lord Ganesha. Keep the murti facing outward in this direction.
• Placing Ganesha in the East or North direction is also considered favourable. Avoid placing the idol in the South direction.
• You can place the Ganesha statue in your living room, prayer room, or temple corridor within the house.
• The entrance or main door of the house with Ganesh facing inward is good. However, do not place it behind the main door.
• Avoid locating the Ganesh murti in the bedrooms and kitchen. Also, avoid bathrooms and be next to electrical appliances.
• Place the statue on a small wooden platform or pedestal, not directly on the floor. Keep the platform at least an inch above floor level.
• The ideal heights for placing the Ganesh murti are 3 feet, 5 feet, or 7 feet. Match the height to your platform.
• Generally, avoid placing the idol in the basement or attic areas.
