IDOLS & FIGURINES

One of the most common things that bind human beings together is religious faith. For many of us growing up in a country like India, it’s common to have religious idols & figurines in our houses. Some people prefer to set aside a dedicated section of their homes to set up a temple while others decorate different corners of their homes with idols & figurines. For many people, their faith in God and religion helps them overcome adversity and gives them the strength to go about the uncertainties of everyday life.

Idols & figurines bring about a sense of calm and positivity to our homes and also make a great gifting option for special occasions such as weddings and house warming parties.

FACTORS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU BUY IDOLS & FIGURINES

With that, here are some of the important things one should keep in mind while buying idols and figurines online.

1. Make sure the God idols are the right ones

Religion holds sentimental value for many people. There are some very minute details one should be mindful of when buying a religious idol or figurine. When it comes to certain God idols such as Ganesh idol and Lord Krishna idols, it is important to ensure that the idol is in the right posture. Some Gods are represented in a specific colour, for example, Lord Krishna murti in blue, so one needs to be mindful of those aspects too.

2. The material used for God idols

Idols & figurines are available in various materials such as polyresin, brass, ceramic and metal. When it comes to materials used, there are a few aspects to keep in mind. Firstly, the aesthetic appeal of the material is extremely important. Some may have a liking for brass idols while others may prefer a metal one. It is also beneficial to keep the room décor in mind while selecting the material. A wooden idol may blend well in a room with wooden flooring whereas a metal idol can look better in a room with marble flooring.

For those who believe in Vaastu, different materials are said to give out different energies in different parts of the house, and idols should be placed in a particular direction. Thus, it may be best to consult a Vaastu specialist before buying a specific God idol or figurine.

3. Other things to keep in mind

There are many other factors one should keep in mind, which are based on beliefs passed down for generations. For example, it is said that you should never buy a laughing Buddha for your own house and that it is apt for someone to gift you one. The trunk’s direction in a Ganesha idol is another important factor to pay attention to.
