FAQ 2: Are there any rules regarding vighraha

aaraadhana at home?

======================================================================

 

[contributed by Ramakrishnan -- ramki64]

 

Agni Purana, Matsya Purana, Bhavishya Purana, Jayakhya

Samhita etc.,

speaks about Deva Pratishtha at home and temples and

rules to be

followed. I have also heard my father saying that

North of Vidhyas do

not require any specific Pratishtha vidan as Brahma

himself has

performed Yagna at the Madhya Bharat i.e.., in and

around Itarsi in

Madhya Pradesh, India. After performing the Yagna he

gave boon that

usual Agamic rituals are not necessary there for any

deva pratishta

and anyone can do pooja etc., to deities. Hence the

Agamic rules do

not apply in the North of Vindhyas. There are puranic

reference to

this. Of hand I am not able to give reference. I

would like to share

certain views for Pratishta of Devata at home.
