Pooja Room Vastu
Prayer and worship space, sacred northeast
Your Pooja Room in Vastu
The pooja room is the most sacred space in an Indian home — the point where divine energy enters and radiates outward. It belongs in the Northeast (Ishaan corner), the direction governed by Lord Shiva and the water element, where the first rays of morning sun illuminate the deities. The worshipper should face East or North while praying. Idols and images should be placed on a platform at least 6 inches off the ground, and the lamp (diya) should always be in the SE corner of the pooja room itself — a micro fire-corner within the macro layout. The pooja room must never have a bathroom above it, a bedroom wall behind it, or shoes anywhere near it. In apartments where a dedicated room isn't possible, the NE corner of the living room serves as an acceptable alternative.
