It is advisable to take precautions about installing the idol of Nataraja in the house in particular from religious and architectural perspective. Let us know why Nataraja’s idol is forbidden to keep in the house.
Statue of Nataraja: symbol of destruction and a symbol of anger
According to religious beliefs, Nataraja is the form of Lord Shiva that is depicted performing Tandava dance. In this form, Shiva is in ‘Rudra’. For this reason, the idol of Nataraja is considered a symbol of anger and destruction. It is said that keeping this idol in the house is not auspicious because it can generate negative energy.
Effect on family: money loss and discord

Apart from this, Vastu Shastra also states that keeping the idol of Nataraja in the house increases discord and tribulation in the family. The atmosphere of the house becomes turbulent, causing fighting between the members.
