Ganesh Idol Vastu Rules: In Hinduism, Lord Ganesha is considered to be the destroyer of obstacles and auspicious. People put the idol or photo of Ganeshji in their home, shop, and office so that all kinds of obstacles are removed from life, and happiness remains in the house. It is believed that the presence of Ganeshji at the main entrance of the house or at the place of worship increases the flow of positive energy. This is the reason why people also give the idol of Ganpati as a gift. But in Vastu Shastra, some special rules have been laid out for keeping and gifting the idol of Ganeshji; if these are ignored, then instead of giving auspicious results, it can also have a negative effect. Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma is giving more information on this subject.

Important rules of Vastu related to Ganeshji's idol
Before keeping the idol of Ganeshji in the house, it is important to keep in mind what kind of idol it should be and where it should be kept. According to Vastu, the idol in the right place and right form brings happiness and prosperity in the house, whereas keeping it in the wrong way can also lead to discord, mental stress, and financial problems.
Do not keep Ganesha's idol at these places, even by mistake.
1. It is considered very inauspicious to keep Ganesha's idol or photo near the bathroom or toilet.
2. Keeping Ganpati's idol in the bedroom creates unnecessary tension in the relationship between husband and wife.
3. The idol should always be kept in a clean place, not in a dirty or dark corner.
Do not keep such an idol in the house, nor give it as a gift.
1. It is not considered right to keep a dancing idol of Lord Ganesha in the house. It is believed that this increases quarrels and unrest in the family.
2. Gifting such an idol to someone is also inauspicious because it can bring discord in their life, too.
Do not give Ganesha's idol in the marriage of a daughter or girl
Giving Ganpati's idol in a marriage is considered forbidden. It is believed that Lakshmiji and Ganeshji always stay together. If a girl is given Ganpati's idol in marriage, then the prosperity of the house also goes with her. This is the reason why this tradition is not considered auspicious.
Which form of Ganesha is auspicious?
1. It is considered most auspicious to keep the Vaammukhi (left-trunked) idol of Ganesha in the house. Keeping it maintains happiness, peace, and progress in the house.
2. There are special rules for worshipping Dakshinabhimukhi (right-trunked) Ganpati. If the worship is not done properly, the results can be opposite.

Which idol provides special benefits?
1. For those who wish for child happiness, the idol of Bal Swaroop Ganesha is considered very auspicious.
2. To remove obstacles in career and business, the idol or photo of Sindoori Swaroop Ganpati should be placed in the house.
3. It is beneficial to keep the idol of Ganesha with a mouse vehicle at the main entrance for positive energy as soon as you enter the house.
