However, one thing which remains the same is the desire to have a peaceful or prosperous environment in the house.

Now the question which arises is where to keep the buddha statue and why? 

Image of Buddha has inspired art and scriptures from many centuries. Gradually, Buddha's role has been transcended from a religious icon to a symbol of inner peace.
