In a home, the deity (God) should ideally face east or west according to Vastu Shastra principles, with east being the most favorable direction. This means the idol faces east or west, allowing the devotee to face east or west while praying. The mandir or pooja room itself is best placed in the northeast direction, known as the Ishan Kon, which is considered highly auspicious and full of divine energy. Placing idols facing south is discouraged, as the south direction is associated with negative energy and instability. In summary:
- Ideal placement of the mandir: Northeast corner of the home.
- Ideal direction for God to face: East (most preferred) or West.
- Avoid facing idols South or North.
- Devotee should face East while praying.
These guidelines help invite positive and spiritual energy into the home environment for peace and prosperity.
