Lord Ganesha is the Hindu god of prosperity, success, and wisdom and is worshipped before any deity no matter what the occasion is. Having a Ganesha statue in their home and office is a must for any devout Hindu. But one must place their marble god statues in the proper direction and orientation to gain the blessing of Lord Ganesha. What is the right way for one to place a marble Ganesha statue in their home and office, and what is the significance of the trunk's direction in Lord Ganesha's statue? The marble Ganesha statue should always be placed by the Vaastu Shastra, as the different directions of Lord Ganesha's trunk signify different meanings and have a different effect on fortune.
