The Processes One Should Follow to Set Up A Mandir At Home?

To set up a new shrine one has to follow some guidelines along with pooja samagri online. Read this for more information. 

Every household has a separate and well-placed mandir- a holy and pious abode of their religious God. Also known as the mandir, it is the place where one conducts proper worship of the deities. A murti is an embodiment of a Hindu God of any form, like a statue which is prayed to daily, after following some rituals. Hence, before installing a beautiful mandir at home with pooja items, one needs to follow some of these guidelines.

Where does a mandir go in the home?

One should use an entire room before building the shrine. However, one can also choose a quiet corner of the house to locate the mandir with other pooja samagri online. The traditional Hindu architecture known as the Vastu Shastra says that one should always choose the northeastern most corner of the room as the altar room. The shrine should also be placed in the same corner since it is meant to assist in the proper flow of the energy or the chakra.

Which Gods should be placed at the altar?

Some of the main devas which take position at every home shrine/mandir are never limited to some particular murtis. One can keep the idols of the following – Lord Ganesha, Parvati, Shiva, Krishna or Vishnu. Sometimes the devotee wishes to have a single deity placed in the mandir along with pooja decoration items online, instead of having an entire pantheon. But regardless of how many idols one places at the shrine, there is the existence of one Ishta Deva or a personal favourite. This deity will always occupy the central position/seat in the shrine. This seat has to be decorated and adorned at all times with Indian pooja items, thus kept most elaborately and gloriously.

What material should the mandir be made from?

Many people prefer to buy ready-made shrines available at the online divine stores or in the market. Those people who cannot afford to buy shrines can use a simple table and cover it up with a saffron-coloured cloth. One can then place the idols and start worshipping them after buying premium puja kits online. The materials required will be aromatic incense stick, an oil lamp or a diya, a bell and a small box to collect all the dakshina.

Some other rules which should be followed include -

• Irrespective of whether one places religious idols or photo frames of deities in the pooja room, one should be cautious to place them in the east or the west direction, and not in the north or south. While offering prayers to the Almighty, one should also face the same direction. The idols of the Gods should not be more than three inches. One should not hang the frame on the north or the south wall. 
• One should not keep damaged idols or religious frames at home. To avoid this, one can keep wooden or marble frames since they do not get damaged easily.
• The room where the shrine is ket should be painted with a light colour like white, light blue or cream.
• If one is installing the shrine with an attached door, it should be wooden with no shutters. The utensils inside the mandir should be made of silver, gold or copper since they are considered pure. The ghanta and the lamp should be made from brass, the kalash should be made of copper.
