A pooja room is a sacred space or temple dedicated to prayer and worship in Indian households. It is a place where people can perform spiritual practices, meditation, and prayer. The pooja room is designed according to Vastu principles, which offer specific guidelines to ensure that the space nurtures spiritual growth and creates positive energy. Some of the key features of a pooja room include:
-
Location: The pooja room should be located in the northeast corner of the house. It should not be located next to the kitchen or under the staircase, and there should not be a toilet below, above, or next to the pooja room.
-
Design: The pooja room should be well-lit and ventilated, with a threshold at the entrance. The doors should have double shutters and should be in a north or east direction. The idols should be placed in the east, west, or northeast direction, and there should be one inch distance between the wall and idols. The color of the pooja room should be white, light blue, or light yellow, and the floor should be of white or off-white marble. The vessels used in the pooja room should be made of copper.
-
Customization: The design of the pooja room can be customized to match the architectural style of the house. Lighting integration, privacy screens, and aesthetic accents can be added to create a private and harmonious space.
By following these guidelines, people can create a sacred and harmonious space that seamlessly fits into their living.
