Divine Feminine Power: Understanding Hindu Goddess Statues and Their Sacred Placement

Worship and Rituals: Invoking the Divine Grace

Worshiping the Goddess goes beyond ritual, it’s a sacred act of surrender and gratitude.

• Morning prayers with incense, fresh flowers, and a lighted diya purify the space.

  
  

• Chanting mantras, such as Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah or Om Aim Saraswatyai Namah, brings focus and peace.

  
  

• Offering sweets or fruits during Fridays or on Navaratri enhances auspicious vibrations.

Many devotees also perform Shodashopachara Puja (16-step worship) to honor the Goddess in her entirety welcoming her, adorning her, offering food, and seeking her blessings.

Best Placement as per Vastu Shastra

The right placement of the Goddess idol enhances the spiritual and energetic harmony of your home or workspace.

• Lakshmi idols should face east or north-east, symbolizing rising energy and prosperity.

  
  

• Saraswati statues are best placed in study rooms or offices, facing east, to inspire focus and creativity.

  
  

• Durga or Parvati idols are ideal for the living room or entrance, where they protect the household from negative energies.

  
  

• Avoid placing any deity statue directly on the floor; always use a wooden or marble pedestal for respect and energetic elevation.

  
  

A clean, quiet, and well-lit corner becomes a natural magnet for divine vibrations.
