Idol of Lakshmi in home.

Dear Magee Sister,

:welcome to Spiritual Forum. Glad Maa brought you here..

Goddess Lakshmi can be worshipped everyday and need not be under packing and taken out only on auspicious occasion, This is what I follow.

May Maa and Baba bless your home in abundance and guide you always, Sairam

Hi magee,

Also what is the height of your Laksmi idol? And what is the material used to make the idol? A general guideline is that idols which are to be kept in the home altar are advised to be lesser than 6 inches in height and also preferably not made by panchalogam or black granite like in temples.
As matiravi has said, Usually elders advise that deities like Sivalinga are not advised to keep in the pooja room UNLESS one can do proper prayers like abishegam and proper poojas.

 

dear op,
any idol of our thumb size can be kept and worshipped on daily basis.annapoorni is always at thumb height only and kept inside a vessel(tumbler) preferrably copper filled with rice.
coming to lakshmi idol me too having a big size terracotta one in my pooja room.other idols i worship only during navrathri for golu.

 

Radha, this time my fil bought a palm size annapoorani. he said thumb size is not that easily available at kasi.he checked many shops.

i have a annapoorani who is a little bigger than thumb size given to me by my husband's guru.
