Respected Members Please inform me about a few things regarding Shiva statue. Which one shiva statue is better - Granite or white marble ? What would be the best size of the statue for a home temple of a Brahmin family ? Please any knowledgeable person help me soon .

Respected Members I am new here and don't know whether I posted the topic in the right place or not . I am a little bit confused regarding Lord shiva statue . Which type statue is the best for home as dhyan mudra , blessing, sitting in folding legs or hanging a leg or four hands or two hands etc . Which color is the best ? Someone advised me that lord shiva without any snake is the best. Is it true ? Will any knowledgeable person help me please ! Regards.
