2. Make An Offering – As tradition dictates, it’s best to keep a bowl of rice infront of your idol at home as an offering. It’s said that making this offering to Lord Ganesh will help you better receive his blessings.

3. Rooms To Avoid – Never place a Ganesha Idol in your bedroom, bathroom or even on a wall that is attached to a bathroom. Ganesh idols are best placed at the entrance of your home.

4. Ganesha Trunk Direction – Only Ganesh idols that have their trunks pointed to the left should be placed within your home.

So, keep the above in mind the next time you’re looking to bring home a Ganesha idol for home décor. It will help you bring home the idol whose energy is lacking most in your home.
