Pooja Room Decoration

One of the most important rooms in the average Indian home is the Pooja room or the worship room. Almost every house in India will have a special place or tiny room designated for the Almighty. The decoration of a typical Pooja room relies on simplicity. Most of the Pooja rooms are painted in bright colors, have a carved wooden door and a traditional ‘Rangoli’ just at the entrance. There are pictures and photographs of different Gods arranged neatly on a rack or a platform while some smaller photographs may be hung on the walls. Apart from that, there are many different items for worshipping. Check out ideas for Pooja room décor.

 

According to Vaastu or ancient Indian Science of Architecture, the ideal place for locating the Pooja Room is the North-east. This direction is associated with prosperity, peace of mind, wealth and happiness. The corner in the north east direction in a house should not be used for any other purpose like the store room, kitchen, etc. Another important thing to be kept in mind is the fact that the Pooja room should never be located under a staircase. Also, there should be no toilet or kitchen adjacent to a Pooja room. The ideal location is in the ground floor and definitely not in the basement.
