During the housewarming party for my new house, the pandit told us which direction should we light the lamp. He said the lamp's direction can influence the energy and atmosphere of your prayer area. You must light a brass oil lamp (diya, Nilavilakku, or Kuthuvilakku) in the southeast corner of your pooja room. Here are a few more things he shared with us.

What is the Best Direction to Light a Brass Oil Lamp in Pooja Room?

The south-east corner of a pooja room is the best place to light a lamp, according to Vastu Shastra. Prosperity and positive energies are drawn in this direction. The east or northeast directions are also seen as fortunate if this is not feasible.

What is the Significance of Lamp Direction?

  1. Apart from the southeast, it is said that lighting a lamp in the southeast will bring wealth, success, and good health. 

  2. The east is thought to be a direction of wisdom and understanding. 

  3. Given that God himself rules it, the northeastern direction is regarded as the most sacred.

From that day onwards, I started lighting the lamp or diya in the south-east corner of my pooja room.

I have always been told that we should worship gods and goddesses only after making sure that all the arrangements are perfect. I was aware of everything except which direction to light lamp in pooja room. I therefore asked the pandit to guide me so that I could make the arrangements perfectly. I learned that the lamps should be kept in the south-east direction. So try to follow this lamp direction in pooja room whenever you are planning to worship the gods and goddesses.

What is the significance of Kamakshi Deepam?

Kamakshi Devi is the goddess of Kanchipuram and the primary source of Shakthi. The Kamakshi Deepam thus symbolises wisdom and helps you and your family overcome darkness, evil influences, and more. The pooja room kamakshi deepam direction should be facing the north or east. 

But in general, as per Vastu, the south corner facing north or east is the best. So try to follow these directions as much as possible.

Which colour of light is good for Mandir?

I am not sure about the colour as per the pooja room light vastu but some colours that you can really opt for are-

  • White

  • Light blues

  • Beige

  • Lavender

  • Orange

  • Cream

  • Light yellow

So now you decide which colour will suit you and in which direction to light lamp in pooja room.
