In the .htaccess file put:

Options -Indexes

you should create an index.html file with following code in /images directory

<script language="javascript">
window.location='http://localhost/site';
</script>

you should create an index.html file with following code in /images directory

<script language="javascript">
window.location='http://localhost/site';
</script>

What if the user had disabled JS ?

Better with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$
RewriteRule (.*) http://siteurl [L,R=301]

Good Idea..!!

or instead of javascript.. should i use header('location:index.php');
as user can off javascript..!!

Apache by default doesn't allow customization of options. Two things you need to check for .htaccess to work:

1. The <Directory> directive for the top-level directory in which docroot resides has the following:

AllowOverride All

2. AccessFileName directive has the value .htaccess
