About Pooja Unit (Mandir) Design
What Matters to Me
For me, making a pooja unit is not just work - it's my passion. I believe a Devghar brings peace to the whole house. I want the space to feel divine, but to also be practical for everyday use.
Your Style, Your Mandir
If you love the old-school vibe, I design traditional mandirs with teak wood, detailed carvings, and classic temple shapes. For those who want fresh, modern looks, I create mandirs with clean lines and high-gloss finishes. I can even blend the pooja unit with your TV cabinet for a more space-saving pooja unit.
Small Space, Big Ideas
Mumbai homes are tight, so I pay extra attention to smart features:
- Hidden seating that slides out for a comfortable pooja and goes back so it doesn’t eat up space
- Storage for all your pooja stuff, like books and diyas, tucked into drawers and cabinets
- Pull-out prasad tray, so offerings don’t get lost in the shuffle
Personal Touches
Every family is different. I work with you to add details that mean something to you:
- Modern mandir with LED lighting for a soft glow and highlighted patterns or mantras
- Customised religious carvings, whether it’s Om, Swastik, or your family deity
How I Work
I always double-check everything before the final sunmica goes on. After that, changes are tough. I’m honest and careful, and I do all this with Swami Samarthanchya ashirwadane (with Swami Samarth’s blessings).
