Your home’s entrance is more than just a doorway—it’s the space where energy flows into your living environment. According to Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture and design, placing certain divine idols near your entrance can help attract positive vibrations, prosperity, protection, and peace.
Whether you're moving into a new house or want to enhance your current one, these five Vastu-approved idols will spiritually elevate your entrance and invite divine grace. Each one is available in our store so you can find the perfect match for your space.
1. Lord Ganesha – The Remover of Obstacles
Lord Ganesha, also known as Vighnaharta, is widely worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the bringer of good fortune. Vastu recommends placing a Ganesha idol at the main entrance to ensure peace, wisdom, and prosperity flow into your home.
🪔 Placement Tip: Position the idol facing inside your home. Avoid placing Ganesha directly on the floor—use a raised platform or shelf.
2. Goddess Lakshmi – The Goddess of Wealth
Welcoming Goddess Lakshmi at your entrance is believed to bring wealth, abundance, and success. She is often depicted with lotus flowers and gold coins, symbolizing prosperity and purity.
🪔 Placement Tip: Pair Lakshmi with Ganesha and Saraswati for maximum spiritual benefit. Ideal placement is to the left of Ganesha.
3. Lord Hanuman – The Protector
A symbol of power, devotion, and protection, Lord Hanuman is revered for his strength and ability to ward off negative energies. Placing his idol at the entrance protects the home from evil forces and instills courage in residents.
🪔 Placement Tip: Keep the idol on the right side of the main door (as you face outward). Make sure Hanuman is facing outward to guard your home.
4. Balaji Charan Paduka – The Sacred Feet of Lord Venkateswara
The Charan Paduka (divine footprints) of Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji, represents surrender, devotion, and the presence of divine grace. In Vastu, it’s believed that these sacred feet attract blessings and remove negativity from the entrance.
🪔 Placement Tip: Place in a clean area near the entrance, elevated on a small platform or in a puja frame. They should face inward, as if the Lord is entering your home.
5. Kamadhenu Cow with Calf – Symbol of Prosperity
Kamadhenu, the divine cow, is a symbol of abundance and spiritual fulfillment. Known as the “cow of plenty,” she brings harmony, fertility, and prosperity into the household.
🪔 Placement Tip: Keep the idol in the northeast or east direction near the entrance. Ensure it’s clean and well-lit for maximum spiritual effect.
