Which Direction is Bad for Mandir?

Wooden pooja mandir beautifully set up in a home

Setting up a pooja mandir at home requires some planning. Direction plays a key role, suggests Vastu Shastra, the old Indian architectural science. It shares that some directions could be less fortunate for a pooja mandir's placement.

Unfavorable Directions

  1. South Direction: Generally, placing a pooja mandir southward is viewed as unlucky. The reasoning is that Yama, the god of death, is linked with this direction, which is believed to bring negative energy into the house.
  2. Southwest Direction: This spot isn't the best choice for a pooja mandir. It's seen as the area for waste and getting rid of things. This could cause disagreements and problems in the house.

  1. Northeast Direction: Your home's northeast corner, or the so-called Ishanya corner, is the perfect spot for a pooja mandir. Folks say it stirs up prosperity and calm within the family.
  2. East Direction: Additionally, the east direction is seen as a good area to place the mandir; this is because it is associated with the sunrise and new beginnings.
