Lord Ganesha is one of the most loved Indian deities. Lord Ganesha is believed to bring prosperity, good luck, wealth, and calmness to the environment of a family. It is important to know the right way to place your Ganesh idol at home. A Ganpati idol should be seated in the west, north-east, or north direction. You need to know that your Ganpati should never face the south, south-east, or south-west part of the home or office. The idol should be put in such a way that its back faces the outside of your home. Never place an idol near a washroom, storeroom, or under the staircase, as this can do more harm than bring any good luck.
