Vastu Shastra Guide: Which God Idols Should NOT Be Kept Together in Your Home Temple?

For almost all of us, our home temple is one of the most sacred spaces in the world. Each and every moment of devotion and prayer that we spend in front of the temple fills our hearts with a divine energy. In fact, many of us even consider this area as the heart our house.

But have you thought about the supreme importance of the Vastu Shastra concept that talks about the placement of deities? The truth is, placement of deities in our home temple plays a significant role in the flow of energy in our house. Vastu Shastra pandits point out that the placement and combination of deities can impact the positivity and prosperity of our homes.

Thus, continue reading this article to understand which are the idols that should not be kept together and also to find out the right way of arranging them at your home temple.

Multiple shivlings symbolising particular forms such as Ardhanarishwar or family shivlings are very powerful. Vasthu Shastra experts actually recommend the placement of these shivlings together. However, two shivlings representing Lord Shiva should not be placed together inside the same home temple. It is believed that separate Shivlings can result in an energetic imbalance that will affect your home’s good fortune negatively.

Vedic Astrology tells that worshipping Human Jhi decreases the negative impact of Shani. Being the ultimate protector, the power of Lord Hanuman is enormous. This is the reason why the Lord is invoked during Sade Sati phase, Shani Mahadasha or Dhaiya.

But Shani Dev, representing the planet Shani, will generate energy that is opposite to the energy of Hanuman jhi. Even though both energies are positive, they can conflict with each other. Therefore, it is recommended not to place Lord Hanuman’s and Shani Dev’s idols together.

According to religious experts, home temples should maintain the energy of calm prosperity. Fierce deities are the ones who will help the members of your family destroy the obstacles that come their way. But, it should be noted that, the energetic vibrations that they produce are very intense. Such high amounts of intensity is not suitable for homes.

In short, this extreme power that ensures the removal of energetic blockages will clash with the vibrations of calm prosperity created by other deities present in your home temple. Hence, it would be a best choice to worship these fierce gods or goddesses at temples that are specifically dedicated to them.

Traditionally, it has been said that the same god’s multiple idols should not be placed together. A single idol is seen as a concentrated point of devotion. Additionally, Vastu Shastra points out that a single, well-placed idol of the same deity will help in promoting harmony at home. Whereas duplicates will result in imbalance or may even invite chaos. So, by placing a single representation of a particular deity, we can create a focused and harmonious environment inside our homes.

In conclusion, when you are preparing your home temple remember these key Vastu Shastra principles. Moreover, if you have placed any of the above-mentioned deities together unknowingly, don’t forget to make the necessary changes and make arrangements for the required rituals. Seeking advice from the right spiritual Gurus will also be very useful.
