Ganpati Bappa Morya: Why Every Home Needs a Brass Ganesha
Quick Answer: Lord Ganesha is the first deity to be worshipped in any Hindu ritual. For home Vastu, always choose a Brass Ganesha with the trunk curving to the left. Placing him in the North-East corner or at the main entrance removes obstacles (Vighna) and attracts wealth (Lakshmi).
🐘 Key Takeaways: The Vighnaharta
- First Worship: Always pray to Ganesha before any new venture.
- Material: Brass is highly conductive and enhances positive vibrations.
- Symbolism: Big ears (listen more), small mouth (talk less), big belly (digest the good and bad in life).
- Offering: Durva grass and Modaks are his favorites.
Ganpati Bappa Morya: Why Every Home Needs a Brass Ganesha
Before you start a business, before you enter a new home, and before you begin a prayer, you call upon Ganesha. He is the Vighnaharta (Remover of Obstacles) and the patron of intellect and wisdom.
At Sama Homes, our Ganesha collection is our pride. But bringing Ganesha home comes with responsibility. Let’s explore the stories and Vastu rules that govern the Elephant God.
The Vastu Secret: Left vs. Right Trunk
This is the most common question we get. Does the trunk direction matter? Yes.
- Left Trunk (Vamamukhi): This form is calm, peaceful, and relaxed. It brings domestic harmony and bliss. This is the best form for the home.
- Right Trunk (Siddhivinayak): This form represents the fiery energy of the sun. It grants quick results (Siddhis) but demands strict adherence to rituals and purity. Usually found in temples, not recommended for casual home worship.

Shop Ganesha CollectionThe Story: Why Ganesha Has an Elephant Head
The story of Ganesha is a lesson in duty and forgiveness. Created by Goddess Parvati from turmeric paste to guard her while she bathed, the boy Ganesha refused entry to Lord Shiva himself.
In anger, Shiva severed the boy's head. Upon realizing he had hurt Parvati’s creation, Shiva ordered his Ganas to bring the head of the first creature they found sleeping with its head to the North. They found an elephant. This signifies that Ganesha represents the universal intellect (the Elephant) placed upon the human body.
