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.

Frequently asked questions

Which direction should a Ganesha idol face at home?
Most vastu guidance suggests placing Ganesha in the north-east, or near the entrance facing inwards. Avoid keeping it facing a bathroom wall.

Is a Ganesha idol a good housewarming gift?
Yes. Ganesha is worshipped before every new beginning, which is why it is one of the most common gifts for griha pravesh, new offices and weddings.

Does brass turn black over time?
Brass naturally darkens with exposure to air and oil. A rub with lemon and salt or tamarind paste brings the shine back, and many people prefer the antique look.
