Whether you need a compact wall-mounted unit or a dedicated prayer room, my focus is on light, flow, and thoughtful detailing. ## Photos and videos - ![A beautiful custom pooja unit designed as a serene sanctuary within the home.

I often use backlit Corian or CNC-cut jaali panels to create depth, ensuring the area feels distinct from the rest of the living space even in open-plan apartments. When we meet, let’s discuss where your unit sits in relation to the main light source—getting that orientation right is often more important than the finish itself. Many clients treat the pooja space as an afterthought, but in my design process, it is a focal point of the home's energy. I approach these units with the same technical rigour I apply to office layouts or kitchens. ### The Science of Placement My approach to Vastu is architectural, not ritualistic. We look at the grid of your home and identify zones that naturally receive the best ventilation and morning light. Placing a prayer unit in the southeast or north can be ideal, but only if it does not obstruct the functional flow of your living room. If the floor plan is constrained, we use design elements like glass partitions or open shelving to maintain a sense of openness. ### Materials and Light I prefer materials that age gracefully. We often combine warm wood tones with Corian, which is translucent and holds backlighting beautifully. This allows us to create a glowing backdrop for idols without needing excessive wiring or bulky fixtures. For the intricate details, I lean towards CNC jaali work, which provides privacy while keeping the air circulation active—crucial for incense smoke and heat management. ### Beyond the Structure Whether it is a compact wall-mounted shelf for a studio apartment or a prayer room for a villa, the goal is silence and focus. We verify site measurements to ensure the scale fits perfectly with your furniture layout, preventing the unit from looking like an attachment. During our consultation, we will review 3D visuals to see exactly how your chosen idols will fit, the height of the shelving, and how the ambient lighting hits the surfaces. ## About Anusha Kanchapler I am Anusha, and I lead Kanchapler Architects.
