Popular Placement Directions for the Altar of the God of Wealth

Traditionally, the altar of the God of Wealth is usually placed in a low position inside the house, facing the main entrance, with the desire to attract wealth and good luck. Most shops, households, offices, etc. place the altar of the God of Wealth next to the entrance. Many people also choose to place the altar with its back against a wall, shelf, or staircase to create a stable foundation for wealth and assets.

– Statue of the God of Wealth, Ông Địa: When looking from the outside, the statue of the God of Wealth should be placed on the left and Ông Địa on the right.

– Fruit plate: There should be 5 types of fruits on the altar, and you can light incense to the fruits every day or on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month.
