Sri Sri KrishnaBremi Swami has also given some elaborate and rare information about this subject in his SriBhagavatha Dharma Sastra. We will also cover some aspects from the same. 

Generally it is said that Women  are not suppose to perform Pooja for Saligrama Perumal

Evil Spirits wont prevail in the area where Saligrama Perumal Pooja is carried out.
House where Saligrama Pooja is performed is considered as Thapovan (Sacred Garden), Puniya Theertha (Sacred Water). It is of sure that the LORD is residing in the House.
On the Contrary, where Saligrama Pooja is not performed the house is unsanctified.

Saligrama is nothing but the shell of a Divine Insect. This Insect can be spotted in Kandagi River(Nepal). It intakes only Thulasi as its food.

Similarly, at Dwaraka River, a Thickly Densed , white colored material is seen. This is called as ChakraSila or Dwaraka Saligramam which is         also divine and Sacred.
