Which idol should be chosen for Naga Pratishta?
Both Sastra and astrology warn that it is harmful to watch snakes mating, and as a result, it is prohibited. The installation of idols in the form of coitus (mating) is not advisable. These idols should not be used for pratishtapana or idol installation. Additionally, the height of the idol shouldn’t exceed the primary deity in the sanctum sanctorum of a temple. According to Sanatan Vedic astrology, the idols that are selected should be a pair of snakes with their heads facing toward the devotees.
