Can we keep idols in pooja room?
One of the most important elements of your pooja room is the idol of your deity. You need to be equally careful about where you place it. Vastu guidelines suggest placing your idol away from surrounding walls so that there is a perennial flow of air around it. Also, the idol must be placed at least five or more inches above ground level. Avoid placing gory paintings or objects around the idol or inside your pooja room in the first place.
