Frequently Asked Questions
Which direction should a Hanuman idol face in a home?
According to Vastu, a Hanuman idol placed inside the home should face south — Hanuman faces this direction to guard against the inauspicious energies associated with the southern zone. In a puja room, place Hanuman to the right of the primary deity, facing south or east. At the main entrance, a south-facing Hanuman on the exterior wall or above the door is the traditional placement.
Which Hanuman idol size is best for a pooja room?
For a dedicated pooja room or mandir, the Standing Hanuman Silver-Plated Idol at 5.5 inches (₹3,999) is most appropriate — large enough to be a focal point on a shelf without crowding other idols. For a compact home mandir or office desk, the standard Hanuman Silver-Plated Idol (₹1,149) works well. The 7-inch premium idol (₹9,999) is best for a main mandir where Hanuman is a primary deity of worship.
Are these Hanuman idols solid silver or silver-plated?
These are silver-plated resin idols — the idol core is precision-shaped resin finished with genuine silver plating. They are not solid silver and not brass. The silver plating gives a bright, genuine metallic lustre and requires only a soft dry cloth to maintain — unlike brass idols, which oxidise and need periodic cleaning with chemical polishes.
Can I gift a Hanuman idol for a housewarming or Diwali?
Yes. A Hanuman idol is one of the most spiritually meaningful housewarming gifts — it carries the blessing of protection and strength for the new household. For Diwali, a Hanuman idol is particularly apt for families with strong Hanuman devotion, or for a new business opening where protection and fearlessness are invoked. The 5.5-inch or 7-inch variants are the right scale for a gift that will be displayed prominently.
On which day should I install a Hanuman idol at home?
Tuesday (Mangalvar) and Saturday (Shanivar) are the most auspicious days to install a Hanuman idol. Begin with a simple puja: place the idol on a clean, elevated surface in the puja room or at the entrance, apply a small sindoor tilak, offer flowers and a lamp, and recite Hanuman Chalisa if possible. Hanuman Jayanti (Chaitra Purnima) is the most auspicious day of the year for this installation.
