If northeast corner is unavailable, place Ganesha idol in the direction so that idol faces west or north. If possible, select north, as it is the abode of Lord Shiva, father of Ganesha. But, when you offer prayers, your face should only be towards east. Lord Ganpati should be placed such that he is clearly viewable and the devotee gets an unobstructed sight of the deity. Also take care that the idol should not face the door or window.
