Choosing the Right Ganesha Lakshmi Idol for Diwali Pooja
Indian culture is widely known for its beautiful traditions and customs. All Indian festivals and religious celebrations have several rules, followed for centuries and kept alive from one generation to another. Diwali, the festival of lights, commemorates Lord Rama's victory over the demon king, Ravana. Goddess Lakshmi and lord Ganesha idols are worshipped with Kuber or Goddess Saraswati on this auspicious festival. The day is also commonly known as 'Lakshmi Pooja.' People bring new idols of laxmi brass idol and Lord Ganesha every year for the Diwali pooja or Lakshmi pooja.
Have you ever seen someone looking for any specific kind of Lakshmi-Ganesha idol in the shop? Did you try to find out the reason behind this? Well, don't worry. We'll tell you the motivation and suggest easy ways to choose the right Lakshmi-Ganesha idol for Diwali pooja.
Lord Ganesha with right- or left-sided trunk?
One of the biggest confusions in selecting the right Lakshmi-Ganesha idol is the direction of Lord Ganapati's trunk. Which side is the right one? Lord Ganpati statue with a right-sided trunk is known as 'Siddhivinayak' or 'Dakshinamukhi' and said to be very difficult to appease. The sun's energies flow through the right-turned trunk, and it is called Surya Nadi.
Such an idol needs special worship, and one has to be very careful in following the exact pooja timings and the Vedic rules of prayers to avoid angering the deity. And it is challenging for a householder to follow these rules. That is why people generally worship Lord Ganesha with a left-sided trunk at home.
A left-sided trunk represents the moon and is called Chandra Nadi. Being cool and relaxed, the Chandra Nadi signifies tranquillity. The northern direction is believed to be spiritually favorable. This idol is worshipped in the usual manner. With a left-turned trunk, Lord Ganesha bestows bliss on his devotees and can be easily appeased too!
Goddess Lakshmi with an owl or an elephant?
In most idols, Goddess laxmi idol is seen with one or two elephants and, occasionally, an owl sitting near her feet. The elephant and owl are both said to be her Vahanas (vehicle). As per mythology, both have their qualities and significance. Elephants symbolize work, activity, strength, water, rain, and fertility for abundant prosperity. The owl signifies the patient striving to observe, see and discover the knowledge, mainly when surrounded by darkness. An owl is a bird blinded by daylight and can see in the dark at night. After one acquires knowledge and wealth, the owl also serves as a symbolic reminder to refrain from blindness and greed. These are the main symbolic reasons behind the presence of an owl or elephant in any idol of Maa Lakshmi.
Lakshmi-Ganesha in sitting or standing posture?
While choosing the right Lakshmi-Ganesha idol, the confusion generally revolves around the posture of the deities. Some idols have Lakshmi-Ganesha in a sitting stance, while some have them in a standing posture. In a sitting posture with one leg on the ground, Lord Ganesha is said to be concerned about his devotees and keeps watch over the devotee's entire family. Usually, people worship Goddess lakshmi murti in both standing and sitting postures.
However, in a standing posture, Goddess laxmi statue is considered especially promising for merchants, bankers, moneylenders, and dealers. And worshipping Maa Lakshmi in a sitting posture is considered to be auspicious at the home or office. We invite and welcome Goddess Lakshmi with Lord Ganesha with respect at our place, offer them a place to be seated, and then worship them with great devotion. So, the Lakshmi-Ganesha idol in a sitting posture is said to be much auspicious for worship at home and office.
Now that you know the reasons behind the various idols of Lakshmi-Ganesha choose the right one for your Diwali pooja to invite good luck, wealth, and prosperity into your life!
