Lord Sriman Narayana resides in Salagramam (Nithyavaasam) always. 
Worshipping Him in the form of Salagraamam is relatively easy when 
compared to worshipping him in the form of idols (Vigraha Aaraadhanam). 
Vigraha araadhanam requires a lot of Aagama principles to be 
meticulously followed which is quite a bit difficult for a nromal 
person. And doing Praayaschithams for idols in the case of non adherence 
to rituals are also elaborate.

In Salagraama Aaradhanam, things are relatively simple. You have to 
observe the basic aacharam (madi) without fail. Using cow's milk during 
the Thirumanjanam is sufficient for praayaschitham for any non-adherence 
of aachaaram. You can perform Laghu Aaraadhanam in just about 20 minutes 
flat. And worshipping The Lord in Saalagraamam daily is a moving 
experience which no words can explain but must be experienced. You 
require fragrant flowers ( esp. jasmine), thulasi,sandal paste ( 
preferably paste made by rubbing sandalwood block with water and not the 
commercially available chemical added sandalwood rings), some sweet 
fruits, sugar candy ( kaRkaNdu) for this.

various sources.
