Families have kept idols at home for as long as anyone can remember, and a set of simple customs has grown around it. These differ between communities, so use this as a general guide and follow your own family's practice where it differs.
Do keep the space clean
A tidy, quiet corner shows respect. Wipe the idols regularly, and keep the area free of clutter.
Do place idols at a raised level
A shelf or a small platform, with a cloth under the idol, is better than the floor.
Do light a lamp daily if you can
Even a simple diya morning or evening keeps the space alive.
Don't keep idols in the bedroom or near a bathroom
Many traditions advise against this. If space is tight, a cupboard-style mandir that can be closed is a good solution.
Don't keep broken idols
A chipped or broken idol is traditionally not worshipped. See our post on how to respectfully part with old idols.
Don't use idols as mere decor in unclean places
If you want a decorative figure, choose one that is meant for decor, such as a Buddha or an elephant, and keep deities for the puja space.
Don't crowd the mandir
Many families keep a modest number of idols. Quality and regular worship matter more than quantity.
When travelling
Cover the mandir or the idols with a cloth when you are away from home for a long time, and wipe them when you return.
A note
If you are unsure, ask the elders in your family or your priest. Their practice will fit your tradition best.
