The above is a wall-mounted cabinet, paired with floating drawers, tucked comfortably into a corner of the living room.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what makes this wooden pooja mandir cabinet our first pick are three things:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The neatly carved-out shape of a leaf with veins. (It could also be mimicking the flame of a diya.) It\u2019s just so stunning, your guests would swoon over the design!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You can peep inside without opening the doors.<\/li>\n
  3. The mandir looks even better when the warm yellow lights inside are switched on!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While it’s difficult to mimic south Indian architecture in our city apartments, there still are tiny ways to do so. One such way is to give your pooja room an out-and-out traditional wooden design — comprising of heavy, beautifully carved doors, decorative door framing, a wooden panelling in the centre to hang frames from, and a curved platform and storage design \u2014 also made out of wood. The flooring is laminate but that doesn\u2019t take away from the overall traditional look of the pooja room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This wooden mandir design is basically a freestanding, floor-rested pooja ghar, bigger in size than the usually smaller and portable ones, but just as movable. The body is made out of wood, and the doors have a wooden jaali design. There are also two small drawers adjacent to each other to store usual mandir items like cotton, agarbattis etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Large-Scale & Elaborate Wooden Devghar Design<\/b><\/h2>\n

    This is for those who would like a whole room for their mandir! In such a case, you can actually go all out with the designing and planning, and hire an interior designer<\/a> for the same! <\/span><\/p>\n

    The focus in this design is on the framework of the mandir, comprising of a grid with bells, paintings of different deities, traditional brass lamps (hanging and freestanding) and large drawers for storage. A silver idol of Lord Ganesha with a wooden stand for a holy book grabs attention right in the centre. The room is given a finishing touch with paintings of deities on opposite walls. <\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Design Adorned with Bells and Brass<\/h2>\n

    Wood and brass are an unsaid brilliant combination, and this design optimises the pairing! For instance, brass handles on a dark wood door, brass bells in the grids of a wooden door, and traditional brass lamps and idols on and against wooden shelves. A subtle ikat-pattern wallpaper on the walls tones down the solidity of the wood, which can also be seen on the flooring.<\/span><\/p>\n
