Choosing a pooja mandir design
A good mandir balances tradition with the room it sits in. Start with the wall: its width, height and distance from the kitchen or bathroom wall decide whether a wall-hung unit, a floor-standing cabinet or a small walk-in alcove is right.
Doors and patterns
Frosted glass doors with etched Om or Ganesha motifs let light through while softening the view; CNC jali doors give depth and can be backlit; solid-look teak-finish doors suit traditional homes. Patterns are shared as a drawing before cutting.
Lighting and safety
Warm backlighting behind jali and a small spot over the deity give a soft glow without glare. Lamps need a metal or stone tray and clear space around the flame.
Storage
Pull-out drawers keep agarbatti, oil, wicks and books out of sight. Our mandirs often include one or two drawers below the deity platform.

Pooja mandir FAQs
Which direction should a pooja unit face?
Many families place it in the north-east and pray facing east or north, but layouts differ. We check direction at the site visit and explain what is possible.
What is a CNC jali pooja door?
A door panel cut by a CNC router in patterns such as Om, mandala, Ganesha or lattice, often backlit so the pattern glows softly.
How big should a pooja mandir be?
Wall-hung units start at about 2 ft wide; floor-standing mandirs are commonly 2.5 to 4 ft wide and 5 to 7 ft tall. We size it to your wall and idols.
Is it safe to light a lamp inside?
Use a metal or stone tray and keep the flame clear of laminates and fabrics. We plan a safe niche.
How long does a mandir take to make?
Usually about 12 to 20 working days after design approval, depending on the pattern and finish; your quotation states the date.
