· Ensure it faces north or east, as recommended in Vastu Shastra

· Keep it clean, clutter-free, and well-lit

3️⃣ Maintaining Sanctity in a Bedroom Mandir

· Avoid placing non-spiritual items nearby, such as clothes or study materials

· Regularly clean the area and offer fresh flowers or incense

· Use a small curtain or partition if the bedroom is shared, to maintain privacy and spiritual energy

4️⃣ Practical Tips for Small Spaces
