Ganesh is one of the most recognizable, most popular, and most loved Hindu deities. You will find images of Ganesh in most homes in countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Western homes that infuse Eastern aesthetics into their decor. The Hindu god has many forms and attributes but is more popularly known in his elephant form. The son of Parvati and Shiva the Destroyer, Ganesh is also the older brother of the god of victory and war, Kartikeya. Ganesh is believed to give his worshippers prosperity and luck. He is also known as the remover of obstacles.

Even if you don’t have a temple, it’s perfectly okay to display Ganesh statues. Why don’t you put one in your meditation space, in a good area in your home, or even in your office? Here are some tips to help you figure out how to bet position your Ganesh statue for luck and prosperity:

  • You must never place Ganesh statues near the end of beds or on the floor.
  • To bring positive energy and good luck into your space, your Ganesh statue needs to be on an elevated level, preferably above your home’s front door.
  • If you have an altar, you may also place a Ganesh statue there.
  • You may place Ganesh statues outdoors but the logical placement is near or at the entrance of your garden. Make sure it faces visitors as they enter your garden.
  • Ganesh is an excellent writer and has a love for books, so some people place Ganesh in their bookcases.
  • For peace, prosperity, and happiness, opt for a White Ganesh statue.
  • For self-growth, bring in a vermillion-colored Ganesh.
  • To bring in good luck and success, the best Ganesh statue should be in a sitting, lotus position.
  • Try not to bring in a Ganesh statue with his right hand up, as this type is difficult to please. Opt for a Ganesh with his trunk tilted to his left hand instead.
  • Need some enthusiasm and energy at work? Choose a Ganesh statue in a standing position.
  • It is important that the Ganesh statue also includes the deity’s trusty steed—a mouse! The Hindu God is likewise fond of the Indian sweet modak, which is also incorporated into statues.

Spruce up your space with a Ganesh statue. You can find a wide range in different forms and designs made from stone, brass, wood, turquoise, and more.
