India will celebrate Diwali on November 1, though some parts of the country are celebrating the festival on October 31. It is one of India’s most highly regarded Hindu festivals. People decorate and clean their houses, worshipping Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi.
According to astrology, the decoration of the house’s temple plays a big role in the incoming wealth and prosperity on this day. Hence, it becomes important to know the rules and regulations of Vastu of Diwali for the well-being of your family and friends.
Astrological Diwali Rules
According to Vastu Shastra, the temple should be in the house in the northeast direction, i.e., the Ishaan angle. It is believed that the deities reside in this direction. The temple can also be placed in the north-eastern part of the bedroom.
Lamps, diyas and fire pits should be placed in the southeast direction of the temple. It can also be placed in the east or north direction of the temple. It is believed that placing a lamp in the east direction brings health to the family while placing it in the north direction brings wealth.
The temple’s height should be such that the level of the feet and heart of the Lord remain equal. No idol in the temple should be broken.
The temple and its surrounding area should be clean.
Copper utensils should be used in the temple.
The temple should be decorated with soft colours, like white, light blue, and yellow.
Making rangoli with a swastika in the temple is considered auspicious.
Things To Install In Diwali
The yantra is considered a powerful instrument for attracting positive energy into the home as it relates to wealth, abundance and prosperity. Keeping Shriyantra in the home temple mainly on the day of Diwali increases the inflow of wealth in your home and prosperity remains forever.
If you make rangoli around your temple on Diwali, its fragrance gets rid of all negative energies. Rangoli not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also attracts positive energy and prosperity.
It is advisable to install Lakshmi Charan in the temple as well as at the main entrance of the house. It will bring wealth and prosperity at home.
