Which Direction Should Lakshmi Idol Face
Lakshmi is one of the most important deities in
Hinduism and is often depicted with a
lotus-flower crown. The goddess Lakshmi is known
as the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Her
image is often found on the walls of homes and
businesses, as she represents fulfillment and
abundance in life. Lakshmi Murti face should
always be facing eastward, which is considered to
be the direction of prosperity in life. This
means that Lakshmi's face should always be facing
east if you plan to place her photo on your home
or business building. If you would like to place
her feet on your main door, you should know how
to place Lakshmi paduka and where to place Laxmi
charan paduka at home.

The direction in which the Murti of Mata Lakshmi
should be facing is north.
This is because according to Vastu, the mandir or
pooja room should be in the North-East direction
and the lakshmi statue should be in the North
direction. The face of image or murti of Mata
Lakshmi should be placed in such a way that
whenever you worship them, your face is towards
the North. If your house has two doors facing in
different directions, then you can choose either
door for pooja. However, if there are two doors
facing outwards towards each other, then you will
have to worship through both doors so that both
sides get their share of blessings.

the demon Surasura. Padmini is the most popular
form of Maa Lakshmi, who is considered to be the
embodiment of beauty and grace. She is depicted
as a woman with four hands carrying a lotus
flower, lotus stem, crescent moon and conch
shell. The iconography is also shown holding a
vina (traditional Indian stringed instrument) in
each hand. Saraswati is seen as an ideal teacher
or guide and she may be depicted with half-closed
eyes, wearing a saffron robe and headgear adorned
with golden earrings. Mata laxmi statue is a
goddess in Hinduism. She is the consort of Lord
Vishnu and is considered as his most beloved
consort. She is depicted as a woman who sits on a
lotus flower while holding a lotus flower-crown
in her hands, which represents her grace and
power over all other things. Maa Laxmi Murti

a leaf and left leg under the first leg. Her left
