Worship of Hindu Gods by idol worship is one of the major practices in Hinduism, representing profound faith and devotion. Of the most worshipped deities, Lord Hanuman is one of the most revered as a great protector who encourages the well-being of his believers. He is so powerful that simply reciting his name is said to chase away evil and bring bravery. His image is counted to be a necessary part along with Lord Ram's idol, emphasising his significance in divine worship.
Yet, not every idol or picture of Lord Hanuman is appropriate for home worship. Some forms, if placed inside, can attract misfortune and unrest. It is hence essential to learn which particular images of Lord Hanuman are prohibited for home placement to ensure harmony and steer clear of unintended misery.
Know which 5 pictures or idols of Lord Hanuman must be avoided at home:
Avoid Keeping THESE 5 Pictures Or Idols Of Lord Hanuman At Home
1. Do not display pictures or statues of Lord Hanuman ripping his chest to show Lord Ram and Goddess Sita, as such a high level of devotion is not recommended for home environments by tradition.
2. Do not install statues or pictures of Lord Hanuman flying with the Sanjeevani Mountain, as it represents a loss of prosperity and hence financial instability and unbalance in the home.
Idol worship plays a crucial role in Hinduism, and Lord Hanuman is particularly revered. Not all pictures are appropriate for domestic worship, though, because some will attract negativity. Being aware of which forms to exclude ensures peace and harmony. (Image Source: Canva)
3. Do not bring home Hanuman's images or idols in an angry mood, because they emanate violent energy, which can disrupt the calm and constructive environment suggested for home interiors.
5. Do not place images depicting Hanuman bearing Lord Ram and Laxman on his shoulders, because such devotion indicates his exclusive attention towards them, leaving the household with less protection.
6. Avoid pictures of Hanuman setting Lanka on fire, since images of flames or damage within the home are against Vaastu rules and can draw negative or bad energy.
