I once struggled with the idea of keeping a damaged God idol at home. I was not sure what to do with my broken God Ganesh’s idol. So, I asked a Vastu expert about whether can we keep broken god idols at home. To this I was informed that one needs to focus completely when praying, while a broken idol can divert one's mind from having a clear picture of God. I’ll be happy to share a few more facts that he shared with me in this regard, 

  1. It’s advised to avoid standing in front of a broken idol during a prayer for peace, and keep the dedication and your devotion strong. But, this doesn’t mean that the deity has lost its power.

  2. To prevent bad luck you must not offer prayers to damaged idols and it may also hold back your religious practices.

  3. If you keep the damaged idol at home, the overall energy of the home will be affected.

The Vastu expert also said that it’s a tradition to worship lord Ganesha before other deities during any auspicious work as it is believed that Ganesha is the destroyer of all problems.

  1. He said that if I own a broken Ganesha idol at home with pran-pratishtha done, then it’s advisable to give the idol to the temple priest.

  2. I was also suggested to replace the broken idol with a new one at home to offer proper devotion.

  3. Also, in many traditions, it is believed that having a broken Ganesha idol at home will bring bad luck and have a negative impact.

After his advice, I finally decided to give the idol to a nearby temple. Hope this information was useful to you.
