Navratri is a time of vibrant celebration, deep devotion, and the powerful presence of Durga Mata in our homes. For many, this is the only time of year when a Durga Idol is brought into the house, often followed by visarjan (immersion) at the end of the nine days. But is it necessary to limit Maa Durga’s divine presence to Navratri alone? Or can we keep a Durga idol at home throughout the year?
Let’s explore what Vastu Shastra and traditional wisdom say about keeping a Durga murti in your space, and why this powerful god idol could bring lasting blessings far beyond the festive season.
Maa Durga is not just a seasonal goddess. She represents shakti, divine feminine energy - the force that protects, nurtures, and uplifts. Keeping a Durga Mata murti at home is believed to bring strength, courage, and protection to the family all year round.
In fact, many spiritual traditions and Vastu experts agree that it is not only acceptable but highly auspicious to keep a Durga statue in your home beyond Navratri, provided a few simple principles are followed.
According to Vastu Shastra, here are a few key guidelines to follow when placing a Durga idol in your living space:
Direction matters: The northeast (Ishaan corner) of the home is considered the most auspicious spot for placing god idols, including Durga Mata. This direction invites positive vibrations and spiritual energy.
Facing the east: Ensure that the Durga murti faces east or north. This is said to attract clarity, peace, and prosperity.
Clean surroundings: The area around the idol should be kept clean and serene, a space of daily reverence, not cluttered.
Size and posture: Maa Durga's calm, seated posture is preferred for the home. Larger, fierce postures (Mahishasura Mardini or warrior stance) are best reserved for temples.
Many believe that Durga murti visarjan (immersion) is a must after Navratri. This belief originates from public pandals and large-scale statues, where visarjan symbolizes the temporary nature of festivals.
However, at home, you can respectfully retain a Durga Mata murti as a permanent god idol, provided you offer regular prayers and keep the space sanctified. There is no rule that restricts her to just nine days.
At The Advitya, we celebrate the eternal presence of Maa Durga through exquisitely handcrafted god idols in brass and other traditional materials. Whether you're looking for a compact, seated Durga statue for your altar or a decorative Durga Mata murti that adds beauty and spiritual strength to your home, we offer timeless pieces that carry both cultural significance and artistic elegance.
You don't have to wait for Navratri to bring Maa Durga into your home, nor do you have to immerse her after the festival ends. Keeping a Durga idol at home throughout the year is not only Vastu-approved but spiritually uplifting, as long as it's done with respect, devotion, and awareness of placement.
