Where to keep it and how to use it

Ganesha is usually placed in the north-east or facing the entrance, never facing the bathroom. Smaller idols suit study tables, car dashboards and office desks, while larger ones work well at the entrance or in the living room.

Care

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after use. To bring back the shine, rub with lemon and salt or tamarind paste, rinse and dry fully. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on painted or stone-set areas.
