There are no specific size constraints for pooja rooms that you need to follow. A pooja room or space can be as large or as small as you want and as your house permits. The space should be big enough for you to sit comfortably and pray.
According to Vastu Shastra, your idols of deities should always face North, East, or North-East directions. This ensures better aura, good health, and prosperity. Do not put the idols facing south.
As it is clear from the blog, there are numerous designs to pick from. Select a design that works well with your overall decor, or you can go the traditional way and choose something that mimics the look of a temple.
There is no fixed answer to this question as the cost may change depending upon the size of the room, the materials used, and additional features that you have installed. Please check the previous section for a more detailed look at expenses.
Ideally, a pooja room should have three types of lights: Functional Lights: To illuminate the room. Ambient Lights: To create a sombre ambience. Decorative Lights: For decorative purposes, such as fairy and pattern lights.
Simple cupboards, shelves, and racks can be used for pooja items. Do not overload the shelves and only keep pooja-related items in your pooja room. Store the excess supplies elsewhere to keep your pooja room clutter free.
Essential elements include an altar, door, curtains, and storage options. A pooja room should also include comfortable seating or standing options as well.
Keep things minimal and avoid cluttering. This applies to both storage items and idols. Install a backlit panel. Have decorative screens or partitions if you cannot install a door. Use ambient lights. Use brass and metal objects to decorate the pooja room.
It is advisable to use bright and vibrant colours for the pooja room for an airy and light feeling. Some popular colours for a pooja room are as follows: Red White Orange Yellow Green Light blue
Keeping your pooja room clean is the best way to maintain it. Be minimalist and avoid over-cluttering. Always remove the ‘nirmalya’ or used-up flowers, Prashad, wicks, and other items and bury them in the ground. This will prevent stains and pests. Always use clean curtains and textiles.
