Ganesh Chaturthi 2025: Do not forget these mistakes while buying a statue of Bappa on Ganesh Chaturthi, know special rules to increase auspiciousness
ganesh ji ki murti kaise kharidna chahiye: The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi brings special importance to devotees every year. It is not just a religious festival, but is a symbol of emotions, reverence and positivity. When Bappa is seated in every house, there is a different energy and purity atmosphere. People start searching for the idol months in advance so that the atmosphere of their house can be filled with happiness, peace and prosperity. But often people only focus on beauty when choosing the idol of Bappa and ignores the rules of auspiciousness. Whereas according to Vastu Shastra and traditions, it is very important to take care of the texture, shape, color and direction of the idol. If all this is done properly, then the flow of prosperity and positive energy in the house increases manifold.
Take care of the size and height of the idol
When purchasing the idol of Ganpati Bappa, one should first pay attention to their size and height. It is said in the scriptures that the idol installed in the house should not be very large. The 9 to 11 inch statue is considered the most auspicious for the house. Large idols are difficult to handle and the environment is also damaged at the time of immersion. Therefore it is better to choose a small and attractive idol.
Bappa’s currency and sentiment
The posture of the idol of Ganpati Bappa also means special significance for auspiciousness. Ganapati is considered to be the most auspicious while sitting in the house. The sitting Bappa is a symbol of stability, peace and permanent happiness. Ganpati, who stood there, is mostly established in public pandals. In addition, the idol should have a smile and tenderness in the eyes as it transmits positive energy in the house.
Importance of the direction of the trunk
Special attention should be paid to the direction of his trunk while purchasing the idol of Ganesha. In Vastu Shastra, the statue with a curved trunk is considered to be the most auspicious. It is a symbol of happiness, prosperity and peace. The Ganesh statue with a trunk on the right is considered suitable for following special practice and stringent rules. Therefore it is not recommended to establish it in normal family life. If you are installing an idol in the house, then try to get the trunk to the left.
Bappa’s vehicle and modak
While purchasing the idol of Ganpati Bappa, also see that his vehicle must have a mouse (rat) and modak in his hand. Both these things symbolize the grace and perfection of Ganapati ji. Where the vehicle is present, there is cooperation and balance in life, and where there is modak, there is happiness and success.
Election of color and material
Nowadays Ganpati statues are found in different colors and designs in the market. But it is considered better to choose a natural and light colored idol for auspiciousness. White, yellow and light green colors transmit positive energy. In addition, try to have the material of the idol soil (Shadu soil). This not only increases religious importance, but it also does not harm the environment. Plaster of Paris sculptures should be avoided as they do not dissolve in water and spread pollution.
Pureness and spirit while purchasing the idol
While buying the idol of Ganesha, the purity of the mind and house should also be taken care of. While bringing the idol directly home from the shop, do not make any showable hurry in it. It should be brought with full respect and reverence, as if Bappa himself is visiting your house. Before bringing the idol, clean the house and decorate the place to enshrine them.
