Ganesh Chaturthi 2025: 5 Vastu Tips To Consider Before Purchasing Ganesha Idol

1. The Trunk Of Lord Ganesha Should Be On The Left Side

While bringing Ganesha idol for home, make sure that the trunk of Lord Ganesha falls on the left side. Ganpati with a trunk on his left side is known as Vakratunda. According to the principles of Hinduism and Vastu Shastra, this form is considered to be highly auspicious for worshipping at home and invites abundance, prosperity, peace, family harmony and success. A Ganpati idol with a trunk on the right side is more appropriate to worship at public places and temples, as it represents a strong energy.

2. Choose The Appropriate Colour

According to the principles of Vastu, it is highly auspicious to bring red, orange and yellow coloured idols of Lord Ganesha at your home. A Ganpati idol with these warm and vibrant colours is believed to invite utmost fortune, prosperity, wisdom and abundance to your doorstep.

3. Make Sure The Mouse Is Crafted On The Ganesha Idol

According to the Hindu beliefs, mouse or Mushak is the vahan or vehicle of Lord Ganesha. The spiritual significance of the Mushak is that it symbolises control over one’s ego and desires. Additionally, it is highly auspicious to bring home an idol where Lord Ganesha is present with his vahan. Make sure that the carving of the mouse is clear on the Ganpati idol.
