When purchasing a new Ganesha idol, its trunk should be on the left and not on the right. Lord Ganesha should also be accompanied by his walking Mushak and his favorite sweet Modak. While purchasing a new idol of Goddess Lakshmi, keep in mind that you do not buy an idol in which she is riding on an owl. Apart from this, the idol should not be standing. The new idol of Goddess Lakshmi should be sitting on a lotus flower. Such an idol is considered the most auspicious. Never buy a joined idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. Take both idols separately.
