Shivling at Home: Auspicious or Not? Scriptures and Astrology Reveal Key Rules

• Worship of Shivling holds special significance in Sanatan Dharma, considered a form of Lord Shiva.
• BHU Astrology Professor Pandit Subhash Pandey explains two types of Shivling installation: Pran Pratishtha (temple) and Chal Pratishtha (home).
• Only Narmadeshwar Shivling is prescribed for home installation via Chal Pratishtha, with daily worship and Abhishek.
• Scriptures forbid establishing temples directly in front of homes, especially those with Pran Pratishtha, due to Vastu dosh.
• A home Shivling (Narmadeshwar) should be small, about thumb-sized, requiring daily water offerings and regular bhog.
