generally 12 inches width 12 inches length and 24 inches height are used as

small mandap for worship at home. mandaps are used for keeping idols and shiv

lingams and any other precious worship objects like saligram, rudraksh, yantras

or any other sacred item. idols or shivlingams upto seven cm are good for

worshipping at homes and above that height are better only in temples or

religious places because an idol or shivlingam above that height needs daily

poojas of various kinds on a regular basis and also needs some sanctity to be

maintained. mandap is not used for keeping photos. on all the four sides of

the mandap, it shall be free. these days readymade mandaps with three sides

closed and only front side open are available which is not good. for doing

special poojas like satyanarayanvrat, varalakshmivrat or any other once in a

year poojas, you can place the photo in the mandap and do that pooja for that

day.

you must ensure that the corners of the mandap do not get cobwebs by cleaning it

with a neat dedicated cloth daily as i found such cobwebs at pooja place

bringing badluck to the natives and rahu gives malefic affect on the natives.

if cobwebs are found in the poojaplace, it is a suresign of serious health

problem in that house and in some cases an imminent death as well. so, one

shall strive not to allow cobwebs in the place of worship.

Thanks for your reply Arjunji.

I have a lot of small size photos of various deities which cannot be hung on the

wall and necessarily have to be placed on a small platform. How do I place them

in the pooja room if it cannot be kept in the mandap? Please clarify.

 

If shivling needs to be worshipped at home, then what procedure needs to be

followed ? Some of my queries are

 

a) What material should the shiv ling be made of ? Should it have Nag also?

Should there be an arrangement for constant drip of water on shivling?

b) What pooja for shivling needs to be perfomed daily and how many times per day?

c) If abhishek needs to be performed, how it needs to be done ? with milk or

water using sankh?

d) What oil needs to be used for lighting the lamp ?

 

In general, I have heard that any idol worship at home mandates daily abhishek ,

pooja and also follow strict code of discipline to be followed by the members in

the house. Can you please enlighten us on this matter?

Does it mean that idol worship at home requires stringent regulations than image (photo) worship?

there is no hard rule such as not keeping photos in mandap. you can keep all

those small photos there in the mandap, if you do not have any small idols and

saligrams.

 

worshipping of a shivalingam above seven cm needs to be maintained in a very

disciplined manner and on a regular basis. but for homes, i suggest a smaller

shiv lingam, specially the crystal one. no nag or heavy rituals required for

abhishekam at home. just do the abhishekam with water on six days and with

milk on mondays, place a bilva (bel) patr, if not tulsi patr, place a flower,

apply little chandan, offer incense stick, camphor and naivedyam. you can also

keep a 108 rosary made from the wood of bel tree. even though bel patr and bel

tree is liked by lord shiva, the bel patr represents goddess lakshmi and

whosoever worships bel tree or wear a rosary of bel beads, the person is

blessed with wealth. similar to tulsi beads rosaries, good quality bel beads

rosaries are also available at an affordable price of around or less than Rs.50

per mala which i supplied to many. some people also use this bel beads rosary

for chanting om namah

shivaya and other shiva mantras which are good for shiv bhakts.

 

only one abhishekam in the morning is required in a day. there are so many

known and unknown rules for worshipped idols for an ordinary layman which is

why i recommend worshipping the photos as the best form of worship without any

worries.
