Home Mandir Vastu Tips and Mandir Placement Directions

Mandir and Religious Idols play a crucial role in the Vaastu of the home and can influence the aura of the whole house. For positive energy to flow through your entire home and to keep the negative energies at bay, it is essential to place the temple correctly as per the rules of Vaastu shastra. When placing your mandir follow the following rule for auspiciousness and prosperity to flow right into your home. Try to follow these as far as possible

• Place The Wooden Mandir In The North East Direction

If you are designing your home be sure to select the right direction to place your mandir in. NE is the most auspicious and ideal place for mandir, and that's where you should try to place it as placing the mandir in the wrong direction is considered inauspicious according to Vaastu. If the NE direction is unavailable, you can go for the North and East direction, but avoid the South direction altogether as it's a big no in Vaastu.

This was about directions, if you're wondering which room to place your mandir in if you don't have a dedicated mandir room, you can place your pooja essentials in any of the rooms including the living room. You can also place your home temple near the entryway so as soon as you enter you can get a darshan of your idols. Traditionally mandirs were placed in the aangan or courtyard of the home therefore you can also place the mandir in the foyer or lobby area of your home.

Align and place your home temple as per Vastu Shastra principles to channel positive energy and good luck. Here are some Vastu tips for home mandir directions:

• The ideal direction for placing the home mandir is facing East, North, or North-East. These orientations spread positive vibrations.
• Avoid locating the temple in the bedroom as it disturbs sleep. Place it in the East, North, or living room.
• The mandir must be visible from the main entrance. It is beneficial to place it in the East or North corner.
• Never place the temple in the Southeast or Southwest corner of a room or home, as it can cause ill effects.
• The mandir corner should be clean & clutter-free. Don't keep useless things near it.
• The mandir should be a couple of inches above ground level on a wooden mandapam.
• Place it in a way that allows you to circumambulate around the temple.
• House plants near the mandir purify energy. Use natural materials & colours.

Things to know before buying a designer Pooja mandir for your home

For every religious person, bringing home a mandir is the most auspicious and celebrated event. However, before buying a mandir online, it is important to check whether the mandir qualifies in all these areas or not.

Here are some important things to evaluate when buying a wooden mandir for home:

• Easy accessibility:

Choose a mandir that can be conveniently accessed for aarti or rituals. As per space, choose wall-mounted or standalone options.

• Maximum utility:

Pick a mandir with shelves and drawers to keep idols, puja items, and decor pieces safely in one place.

• Convenient size:

Choose the mandir size according to your room's dimensions and design. A proportionate mandir will enhance space.

• Durable and weather-resistant materials:

Choose moisture-resistant and termite-proof woods like Teak, Sheesham, Mango, and Rosewood. Engineered wood mandirs also last.

• Beautiful mandir design:

Choose an intricately carved mandir with stone inlays, floral motifs, and jaali patterns that appeal to you.

• Subtle or vibrant colours:

Temple colours like red, yellow, and orange invoke positive energy. Choose muted or bold hues.

• Intricate detailing:

Fine carvings, sequin or Zardozi work, and filigree patterns add beauty. Macedonian jaali patterns look regal on wooden mandirs.

• Lightweight or heavy structure:

Choose according to the portability needed. Choose marble, fibre, or wood based on your preferred weight.

• Shelves, Compartments, & Drawers:

Built-in storage spaces help organise puja items neatly in one place.

Benefits of Buying Wooden Temple for Home

Here are some notable benefits of choosing a carved wooden mandir for your home:

• Warmth of Wood:

Wood's natural warmth and smooth texture create a pleasant, welcoming ambience for daily prayers and meditation. Its natural vibes are ideal for a home mandir.

• Intricate Handicrafts:

Our artisans intricately hand carved each wooden mandir with great skill and attention to detail. Expect delicate filigree jaali work, floral motifs like lotuses, geometric patterns, and figurines of deities carved on the solid wood.

• Vastu Compliant:

According to Vastu principles, the Northeast corner brings prosperity. When placed correctly, our wooden mandirs, made from natural materials, provide positive energy and spread good luck.

• Visual Treat:

Every wooden mandir is a visual delight, with beautiful wood grains and carving details. The fine engravings and inlaid patterns on the solid Burma teak or rosewood are sure to impress.

• Adaptable Design:

Wood as a material can be carved into any shape and size. Our wooden mandirs come in modern minimalist, traditional ornate, and contemporary fusion designs to match your style.

• Economical:

Our intricately carved wooden mandirs start from just Rs. 3000, making them a cost-effective choice compared to marble, stone, or silver mandirs. Wood offers artisanal quality at reasonable price points.

• Low Maintenance:

Wooden temples for home require minimal upkeep. Regular dusting and annual polishing with wood stain help maintain a smooth sheen and colour.

• Aromatic:

Sandalwood, rosewood, or mango wood naturally emit divine aromas, creating a pleasant ambience around the home mandir.

• Long Lasting:

Well-made wooden mandirs can easily last for decades with proper periodic coating and treatment. Wood's natural resins make it weather—and water-resistant.

Always Buy A Mandir With Two Shutters

A mandir should have two doors or shutters and they should open in the North or East direction. When you buy a mandir, be sure to buy one that has 2 shutters. If you are placing your mandir and chowkies in a separate mandir room you can avoid a mandir with doors and buy one without shutters, however, you are placing your mandir at a place that is visible from a large part of the home especially the drawing room area where guests frequent, you might want to opt for a mandir with doors. Alternatively, you can also put on a nice pair of curtains on your pooja mandir.

Choose The Right Lighting For Your Home Temple

For a sacred and holy place such as a mandir, you should include lights that contribute to maintaining a pleasant, soothing aura. The place should not be left dark, but sufficiently lit with the right kind of lighting. You should also choose lights to go according to the colour of the mandir and adjacent area. If the wooden mandir you have or are buying is dark-hued, it may require more light therefore choose a brighter light. You can go for white light or even yellow light. Avoid flashy colours such as blue or red and go for yellow lights in soft soothing shade and brightness to build a tranquil environment around your home temple. Buy lights for your temple along with the mandir for your home from Pepperfrys collection
