Namaste -
I would like a place in my garden with a fountain and a pool and a little place to get fresh water.
If Varuna is God of the Waters, or the Ocean, would a depiction of Varuna be suitable......or would that fall to Indra?
Is there a Puranic god who would be better? Krishna perhaps....or would Skanda like to cruise around in a cool spot and play in the waters. He seems so busy these days...maybe a layover would be nice for him?
Excuse my levity...but it seems likely that as an offering, a pool would be nice.
Love,
Lakshmi

In Vedic thought a statue become a representation of the deity only after Pran Pratishta ( Inviting life in the statue) . After that the statue is seen as Living representation of the Deity.Varun is the God of water and Indira of Rains and Thunder.

Namaste Lakshmi ji
Why you are searching the God in Puranas why don't you follow the none imaging God and all the names are the names of God the meanings as per Sanskrit vyakaran you may get of them

Krishna with his flute sounds nice above a trickling fountain or pool.
Perhaps you could have more than one diety's statue

Dear madam, nice of you. Positive thinking. Don't put any statute of any god,by lapse of time it is ignored and not properly maintained.

use it anywhere and everywhere, what matters is its place in your heart. until it is esteemed and loved in heart, physical location hardly matters.
these word s are authoritative, so you can trust close eyed. These words are with scriptural backups.
