Vastu for Prayer Room in an apartment or Flat
November 12th 2007 09:08
Category: Vastu
I am writing this post as an extention to my earlier post - Praying in the Right Direction. While reading the search queries made in Google and other Search engines I realized that my earlier post does cover some Vastu tips on Prayer room which are generic, it mostly covers the direction of the prayer room and direction of prayers.
However, many of us live in apartments and flats and hence it is not possible to have a dedicated prayer room or make the North East room as a prayer room.
In order to simplify the tenets of Vastu, I am writing below the rules in decreasing order of importance such that the first one is a strict no-no and so on.
Don'ts:
1. Never use the bedroom (of couples leading an active sex life, boys who masturbate, girls who have reached puberity) as a pooja or prayer room.
2. Do not place the idols and images of God in a closed almirah
3. Never place a broken idol or painting in the prayer room.
4. The prayer room should not be next to, below or above a toilet.
5. Prayer room should not be in the South of the apartment or flat.
6. The prayer room should not be below the staircase.
7. Idols and Images of God or Messengers of God
should not be placed facing each other.
8. The pooja room should not have any photograph of dead and departed souls.
Dos:
1. Always place the images and idols such that you face the North or East while praying.
2. Keep the Pooja and Prayer room free of clutter and absolutely clean.
3. The colors of the walls should be white, light blue or light yellow.
In case of any queries on this topic feel free to write a comment.
God Bless!!

Thanks for being a much appreciated source for useful information.
I am in the process of making a few changes at my home. The most suitable location for a Pooja Shelf (with a proper pooja room door) is in my dining cum kitchen room. SEE LAYOUT OF ROOM IN MY PROFILE ICON. The pooja Shelf (something like a wardrobe) is intended to be made in the NORTH, on an extenal wall and will be facing SOUTH. (GREEN strip in picture). The pooja will have the Kitchen counter on IT'S left (Eastern Wall of the room - ORANGE strip in pic). Our prayers are planned to be made facing either North or east due to space constraints.
I would like to ask you if this is a good solution as I have heard that proximity to kitchen and South facing Pooja is in-auspicious
I also have the possibilty of using Glass on the beackground wall of the Pooja Shelf on the nothern wall.. Is that a good idea for decoration and natural lighting of the Pooja shelf ?
An opinion from you would be very helpful

When we are installing new pictures/idols of God/Goddess in the pooja room, by removing the old ones. What should be done to the removed ones ? We have been packing and placing them in some safe unused corner. Please suggest a correct way.

We are now getting this Toilet changed to Pooja Room. All the Tiles & Floor of the Toilet has now been removed and new Flooring (Cream Color) & tiles (Light Blue) are being put on walls. The Pooja Shelf is being made on East wall so that Idols face West Direction.
Please advice, if any other precaution needs to be taken during construction

When you are removing the toilet remove all sewage pipes from under the ground. Before installing the images and figurines of Gods please perform a Pooja of the place with the help of a good priest explaining him the history of the place.

I was planning to get a rudra-abhishek done first and then place Gods idols in the room. Please let us know what pooja will be best suited in such a case to remove bad effects of previous Toilet.
In order to accomodate all Idols / Photo Frames, we are getting the pooja sthan made into three shelves (one over other). First (near ground) to be 2.5 feet wider, second in middle- about 2 feet wide and third on top -1.5 feet wide. The Length of Each Shelf would be around 5 feet. Please confirm if its ok as per Vaastu.

I have just moved to a new apt with 2 bedroom. North east part of the apt falls in a master bedroom and second bedroom is in the southwest. I cannot make puja area in my bedroom. Hence I have placed god idols in second bedroom such that while praying I face north but idol faces south. Is this ok?
one alternative can be to add a shelf on the east wall and place the idols so I will face east while praying in that southwest room.
Second alternative is to place idols on the study table facing east but across the bathroom and on the way to guestroom. Pls let me know which is the best place.
Thanks in advance

You can either pray facing North or faing East as per Vastu principles, in that case the Gods should face the South or West. There is no other option
Dear Elango
Your understanding that in Hinduism, spirits are considered as God is incorrect.
Dear Rachna
I will need to perform a detailed astrological analysis for finding the reasons for you loosing focus in work. This will be added with a small Vastu analysis of your workplace.
Since this is a paid service, you may write an email to me if interested.
Dear Snehal
Based on your description either of the first two options suggested by you looks OK to me.
Dear Aruna
As a general guideline please follow the suggestions in this post. For a more detailed personalized analysis you may write an email to me. This analysis is a paid service.
Dear Shailja
Based on your description I cannot very confidently say whether you should set your Pooja in the room where the floor above is half covered by bathroom. However, if you don't find any other option you may go ahead with it.
Dear Sivakumar
There is not fixed dimensions for the altar. Depends on how many pictures and statues you want to install.

Thanks for starting this very informative site. We stay in an appartment on the 4th floor. Though ours is a one big open kitchen, dinning hall, we have made a small pooja room. Currently, our pooja room is placed in the west/north west .i.e. the pooja room door & the gods face east/south east. Is it OK ? While performing pooja, facing which directions should we sit.

You can have the idols facing SW and you facing NE while performing Pooja.
When you buy Ganesha idols, you buy either one which is a Pooja idol or one which is a decorative figurine.
If there are three which are decorative in appearance, place them in the living room and one which looks like a Pooja one place it in Pooja.

I have nver worked in the Southern Hemisphere and hence will not be able to give you a definitive answer to this.
Amongst the Vastu practitioners there are two views. By one logic since Vastu is based on cosmological diagrams and not terristorial diagrams the principles should apply same in Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
Others are of the view that the significance of directions in Southern Hemisphere should change as a mirror image of what applies in Northern Hemisphere. For example, Water should be in South East and not North East and Fire should be in North East and not South East.
I am sure with Vastu shashtra spreading to Southern hemisphere with time, clarity will emerge.

Comment by Meghana
We stay in UAE, the flat which we have rented is having directions diagonally oppsite to each other. As it is a fully furnished flat we cant make any changes. The only better place of the temple is in the kitchen. That too on the North- west wall. That means it will be placed on the northwest wall of the kitchen where the god would face the east- south and we would face north- west direction while doing pooja. We dont want to keep the temple in the living room as we have all nationality people visiting us. I would be obliged if you can give some remedy so that we can make this place auspicious for the temple.--

Having a common wall between Pooja Room and Toilet creates a Vastu Defect and is not advisable as per Vastu.
Fortunately it can be corrected by installing few devices which creates a virtual energy wall between the bathrrom wall and the Pooja room.
Please write to me at astroupma@gmail.com to know how you can purchase it and how you can install it.

We live in a 3BHK rented flat. Our pooja alter is in the north east corner of the flat, which is our bedroom. We have a 2 year old daughter. Now my husband and I are leading a spiritual life and we are celibate. Is it ok to have the pooja alter in the bedroom in such a situation?
Comment by Lokesha
I am in 2bhk rented house, main entrance in North, 2 rooms are in NE and SW, Kitchen in SE, center or between Kitchen (SW) and Room (NE) pooj room is there (fasing west), behind that bathroom is there, but here bathroom and poojroom shared common wall, is it any problem?

Pooja room is good in any zone provided it is in the right Vastu Zone of the house. For that a detailed vastu consultation is required.

We bought a flat 2 weeks ago. Its a West facing flat.The pocession will be after 3 or 4 months only.The floor plan of our flat is like this:
Living room : North - West
Master Bedroom : South -West
Children room : North -East
Kitchen : South -East
Dining room :Adjacent to kitchen( west
of kitchen)
Bathroom,Toilet :1 bathroom is attached to
master bedroom( South - E
ast of bedroom)Other one is common Bathroom which is adjacent to living room( North- East of living room)
Balcony :Balcony is from Children bedroom- in North East direction
There is no separate pooja room in our house. So we planned to make a mandir in the north east corner of our living room. But i came to know that do not place pooja mandir adjacent to a bathroom or that two doesnt share a common wall. So we confused. Then the other option is to place the mandir in north- west corner of living room. is that acceptable in vasthu...? Please give me the information about this Madam

The walls of all rooms including hall are such that East-West and S-N directions are corner to corner. Leaving the other bedrooms as we do not intend to keep puja there, the walls of the hall are along North-East, North-West, South East and South West directions.
Is it fine to keep the puja mandir in the corner of NE-SE walls facing West?
Or keep along NE wall facing SW and pray in NE direction?

Comment by Amith Pallavoor
We stay in an East Facing apartment. The door opens out into the North East direction. I have placed my sofa set and chairs at a distance of three to four feet from the door. I have tried to maintain a maximum distance from the door before placing the furniture as the North East Direction is considered to be the abode of Shiva. However, apartments can't be 100% Vaastu Compliant because of space constraints. We face West while watching TV and the TV is on an East facing wall. It would be great if you could let us if any major changes are suggested as I have been facing a lot of career related struggles of late.
I chiefly, had a query around the place, where I have placed the wood work for Puja, There is no separate Pooja room. The wall on which the unit is placed adjoins the bathroom and there is also a basin next to the unit. We need to shift the Puja Unit because of this reason.
We are planning to shift the unit to the smaller bedroom with the idol of deities facing the North. I plan to use this room as a study room and a room for my parents whenever they visit us. There is enough place for us to perform Puja by facing the east. Kindly let us know if we could go ahead with this plan.
Thanks

If the pooja room is anywhere in the North or West of the house than I will not suggest you to go for marronish color.
Also generally in Vastu we advise to avoid granite and use stone or marble.

I read your article regarding placing idols of gods in pooja room. Even then I have a question and I am searching for the answer on the Internet for a very long time. Expecting you to clear my query. I am staying in USA and my current situation is that my are in east direction and facing the west but in front of my idols I have the Gas Stove where I will be cocking and I am experiencing lot of difficulties while cleaning the kitchen and not able to eat in the kitchen as my dining table is front of my deities.
My question is can I place my idols on the north so that they face south and I face north while sitting in front of my deities while doing pooja? I read on the Internet on some website that gods like shiva and Vishnu should not face the south direction. Can you please help me in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Dear Upma ji,
I have purchased a house. The layout is as attached in the image. This is the direction that the compass shows as I stand facing the main door (facing outwards).
As you can see that kitchen is in the north east, and it is extended by a dry area. The dry area comes in the exact north east corner. I intend demolishing the bathroom and use half of the bathroom as a small enclave at the entrance, and the remaining part for the pooja room. The problem is that there is drainage pipes right ourside the wall of the kitchen. Can i place a pooja room there or which other option can I look at.
Thanks,

Is it OK to have mandir in the living room exactly in front of the main door ( as the door gets opened first thing one sees is mandir) And all the other seats (sofa and chairs) are above the height of mandir, though i have placed wooden mandir on a wooden table(chouki). Our is rented house, cannot drill in walls to put elevated(hanging mandir). Please guide.

Since I have not seen the house, it is difficult to comment.
A lot depends on the energies one feels when you place the mandir like this or in any other way.
Just place it and feel yourself.

I read your info and it is really interesting. I have a query please do reply to my query.
I have a north facing apartment where Kitchen is in North East corner, Hall is in South East, 2 bedrooms are in North West and South West.
So with this I am planning to place my pooja room at North-East corner of my Hall facing West. And I will be facing East prayer in pooja room.
Could you please tell whether this is correct?
I cannot place Pooja Room in Kitchen because Kitchen is in North East and inside Kitchen if I place Pooja room facing East then there is store room and Kitchen drainage flows not directly below it but in front of it.
