Idols should face east or north. Pictures of deities should not face each other. Lamps and Diyas are ideally placed in the southeast direction. Maintain some space between walls and idols.

Natural light is ideal. When windows are limited, use soft warm lighting, recessed or accent lights to highlight the altar. Avoid harsh glare; lighting that enhances tranquillity works best.
