Keeping Lord Krishna Idol in Car: Vastu Shastra Rules for Protection

Placing Lord Krishna’s idol inside the car will gift us a sacred sense of calmness. Bhagwan’s divine grace will purify the energy within the car and, most importantly, fill the hearts of the travellers with positivity, righteousness and comfort. In fact, it has been believed that having Lord Krishna inside the car will also result in ensuring our protection from mishaps or misfortune. However, if you have decided to place Bhagwan’s idol inside your car, please take extra care to do it with deep reverence, humility and mindfulness. In this article, we will explore some important rules that are rooted in Vastu Shastra.


The first step is finding the right idol that can be placed inside a car. We all know that cars will heat up and will be moving through roads that are filled with bumpers and blocks. Therefore, we have to choose a material that is sturdy and small at the same time. Vastu experts recommend idols made up of metal, wood and stone to be placed inside a car.

It is important to consider where you place the idol too. Usually people keep the idol at the centre of the dashboard. Nevertheless, ensure that your view doesn’t get blocked. If that happens, you can move it a bit to the side. The key is to maintain the stability of the idol. Either the idol’s base should be firm or you should be using a non-slip mat. During twists and turns, if Bhagwan’s idol is sliding around, that can mean disrespect. We should avoid this at all costs.



We should note the fact that the space where Lord Krishna’s idol is placed contains the same amount of spiritual and sattvic energy as a home mandir. Therefore, we should put extra effort in keeping that area neat and tidy. Don’t place unnecessary materials near Bhagwan. Before starting the car, pray to Lord and take a moment to align yourself with the divine energy.


This tip is very important for our safety. If by any chance, the air bag opens, even a tiny idol can fly toward us, causing injury.

If the idol is cracked or has broken, we shouldn’t keep it inside the car. Vastu Shastra points out that carrying a broken idol is inauspicious as it thwarts positive energy flow, thereby attracting misfortune.

Keeping the area where deities are placed clutter-free is a key principle of Vastu Shastra. Experts say that clutter can invite spiritual chaos and confusion. Thus, we shouldn’t congest the car’s dashboard with multiple idols, garlands or other materials. A single deity is enough inside a car. The energy flow will be concentrated and more powerful.


Vastu doesn’t recommend doing puja or lighting diyas and incense inside a car. Home mandir or a temple in your locality is the best place for these activities. Moreover, we should remember that lighting anything inside car can be unsafe too.
