Easy steps to create your pooja room as per vastu

#TheClassicDesign
Usually a tomb or pyramid-like design is suggested for a mandir. This form is considered an ideal pooja room design and is preferred for maintaining placing the idols. A pooja room should have a low ceiling compared to the house and a door if the design permits you.  This design can help you meditate peacefully. You can also design a threshold and a two-way door for your pooja room. This prevents insects from entering the pooja room space.

4. GOD’S IDOL DIRECTION AS PER VASTU

One of the most significant elements of your pooja room Vastu is the direction of positioning the idol. Vastu guidelines suggest placing your idol away from surrounding walls so that there is a perennial flow of air around it. Furthermore, it is suggested that the idol must be put at least five or more inches above ground level. Additionally, the idol should be placed  that one faces the east or north when praying.

#TheIdealItems
Like other areas of the house, pooja rooms can be decorated with fresh flowers and lights. Copper vessels can be used for collecting water. The pooja room is best kept clean, placing a dustbin in the area could be avoided. Use of scented candles, dhoop, or incense sticks are good additions too.

10. ROOMS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR POOJA ROOM AS PER VASTU

#TheRightRoom
In small flats or apartments, locating the space for the pooja area can be difficult. It’s not unusual to find the pooja room in kitchens or bedrooms. In such cases, if the pooja room is in the kitchen, more often the northeast corner is used with two shutter doors to keep it closed when not in use.
Having the pooja space in the bedroom is generally not considered wise, as Vastu suggests that no one should sleep in the pooja room. If there is no other alternative than the bedroom, the northeast corner of the bedroom is mostly used. Furthermore, the bed is positioned in such a way that your feet don’t point towards the pooja space.
