how should an elephant statue be positioned in your home?

[puss_boots]

Elephant statues should have their trunks up and be facing the door of the room.

As puss says facing the entrance

[Mr k]

Well you did want to know and know im not ino this stuff
It is our tradition from time immemorial to erect a statue of Lord Vinayaka (Elephant God) or the figure of an elephant, as a remedial measure in the case of the entrance of a house or building faces a lane or a street.(The lane or street jutting into the house of building) The rule says that it is a great defect to have a house facing a lane or street, and those who live in such a house will lose peace of mind. A house in the proximity of a temple will lead to grief and the residents will often fall sick and the members of such house will be non-cooperative and divided in opinions. If a house faces a junction of four street, all the fame one has saved after hard work will start diminishing gradually and the implacable enmity will grow.It is wise to shift from such a dwelling place. If a temple is located across the right flank of a house or building, all the perseverance will go a waste. If a temple is located across the justify flank of house or building, the resident of such a house will never attempt to persevere. If a temple is located right across a house or building one's fame will wax and then wane. If a temple is located right behind a house/building it will lead to poverty from prosperity. The house/building that faces the stationary ideal of a temple or a house/building that is across the justify or right side of a lodging house(Chaavadi) will reduce to run. The rule states that even if Lakshmi the goddess of wealth dwells in such a house, the evil spirits will haunt the house and drive the residents away. The compound wall of a Shiva temple should be located well beyond six hundred feet from a house/building. The location of a house/building should be well beyond seven hundred feet from the temples of Lord Ayyappan, Lord Vishnu and Lord Pidaari ( a form of the village goddess Kaali).

The temple of the Lord Vinayakar(Elephant headed God), Lord Sunamaniya (six headed God and Brother of Lord Vinayakar), and Goddess Maariamman should be located at the corners of the street, and houses located beyond seventy feet of such temples will prosper well. According to the tradition of a temple car festival might have been established by our elders in accordance with spirituality, one should understand the significance in as much as how best the idols of the Gods in the temples when brought out in procession in the streets around the temple to help the mankind in warding off from all kinds of evils. It is certain that one's life will be prosperous if he takes the necessary remedial measures for the location of a house for building jutting against a road or street as mentioned above.
