Bringing in Ganesh to your house during Ganesh Chaturthi is said to be auspicious. But the same thing, if not done correctly can invite bad luck. These things must be kept in mind while bringing home a Ganesh idol:

·       The Direction of Trunk: The left-facing trunk of Lord Ganesh is the best option as it brings home positivity and calm. This side is attached to femininity while the right-facing trunk is related to masculinity and attracts strong, fierce energy.

·       Placement of The Idol: The Ganesh Idol should ideally be placed in the East or west side of the house. A northeastern direction can also be chosen. But places near the washroom or a wall directly linked to the washroom as well as the south direction should be avoided at all cost as it is considered to be inauspicious.

·       Positioning: The Ganesh idol places in the workplace must be in the standing position as it encourages enthusiasm and brings in positivity in the workplace.
