You enter your puja room and are immediately surrounded by a calm atmosphere that takes you to a place of spiritual comfort. A calm atmosphere is produced by the soothing chants, the flickering diya flame, and the subtle scent of incense. However, did you know that the arrangement of the items in your puja room can have a significant effect on the flow of energy inside? Yes, in accordance with Vastu Shastra, the arrangement of specific objects in this sacred place can either help or hinder positive vibrations.
Let us check out the list of 6 items that should never be placed inside the puja room.

6 Items To Never Place In Puja Room
1. Broken Idols - Images of the gods and idols are the focal point of worship in a puja room. So it's imperative that you give them regular inspections. Idols that are broken or cracked might draw bad energy and block the natural flow of divine benefits. Thus, don't forget to change broken idols for brand-new ones.
2. Leather Items - Wallets, belts, and purses made of leather have no place in your puja room. Leather has a Tamasik (negative) property that might tarnish the sacredness of the area, according to Vastu. Choose natural materials instead, such as wood, cotton, or silk.
3. Clock - Although it's important to know the time, having clocks in your puja area can distract you from your prayers and meditation. The unceasing ticking can break the spiritual environment and make it more difficult for you to connect with the divine.
4. Footwear - You should never use your puja room as a place to keep your shoes. Sandals and shoes bring in debris and negative energies from the outside world. You may make sure that only good energy enters your puja area by designating it a "No Footwear Zone."
5. Dustbins - The garbage and dirt that dustbins represent are incompatible with the puja room's purity. To keep the purity and positive energy flowing in this location, do not place them there. Keep the trash can outside the room instead, but make sure to empty it frequently to prevent bad energy from building up.

6. Clutter - The simplicity of a puja space is its core. The energy flow can be disturbed by clutter, which gives a room an erratic and uneasy vibe. Make sure the puja space is kept simple and clutter-free. Choose a clean, well-organized area that radiates good vibes and promotes tranquillity.
