Rosewood Pooja Mandir

Description : Rosewood Pooja Mandir
Pooja Mandir BALAJI
Pooja Mandir in every home is believed to be the abode of divine. Householders position it in the Pooja room generally facing east and place the idols of their Gods here to bring in the ambience of a temple and invoke the divine. When Puja or prayer is such an important part of your life wouldn´t it be an intelligent thing to give your best to this investment? The mandir you are seeing here is made of superior quality rosewood by skilled artisans. Unique quality of this rosewood is that it is termite-resistant and requires minimum maintenance. The Gopuram or the mini domes you see atop is replica of the Indian temple architecture where sculptures exhibit their craft. This masterpiece is a classic example of naquasi style lacquer work.

The stunningly royal look it bears leaves viewer spell bound. It would be an honour for the deities to be placed in on an altar like this. As you can see, the Gopuram or the dome atop the mandir is a typically Hindu temple replica. The intricate filigree work surrounding the tridents (domes) speaks of the intense dexterity of the artisan. Floral and geometric patterns are woven into a pleasing theme which gives a rich look to the dome. Going further down you can see a graceful, dainty wooden festoon which holds the bells. These jingling brass and silver bells bring the ambience of temple to your home.

The golden and silver flowers in the backdrop, embossed on the wall of the mandir symbolize prosperity and presence of divine grace always. The elaborate three dimensional floral wooden borders along the floor of the temple cordon off the ‘seating space’ of the deities. The powerful, elaborate and stunning Chakra or the wheel in the centre is representation of the Sri Chakram where the powerful positive feminine energy of Goddess is consolidated. The dotted wooden strip above the storage space/drawers again denotes festivity welcoming the Divine into the temple. Flowers carved on the either sides of the drawers is an expression of creativity and workmanship. The slightly inclined wooden border all around holds intricate floral patterns which give an auspicious look to the mandir.

This steeple of the dome is called ‘shikhara’ (summit) that represents the mythological ‘Meru’ or the highest mountain peak. It resembles trident of Shiva. The intricate carving, finesse and gloss of the wood speak of the quality and workmanship. At the four comers of the tridents one can see embossed pane of foil that gives a royal look to the mandir. The projected ‘roof’ of the mandir has a wooden ‘garland’ which reminds the traditional mango leaves decorated at the entrance of a Hindu house welcoming prosperity. This is ideal to hang bells, flowers leaves etc. The four pillars around the sanctum sanctorum are sturdy and elegant at the same giving enough room for the idols. These represent the four aspects of life; Dharma (Duty and Religion), Artha (Wealth), Kama (worldly desires) and Moksha (salvation).

The arrestingly beautiful 3D image of Lord Balaji in the temple is colur wooden inlay work. It invokes fervent devotion in the worshipper. He stands majestically in the exquisite arch depicting creation. Two beautiful hanging brass lamps are lit before the grand deity as lighting oil lamps dispels negative energy. A drawer is provided to store your prayer items like wicks, camphor, incense etc. The natural lacquer finish of the temple expresses the talent and devotion of the artisan. Embedded and embodied is the grace and compassion of this mighty Lord, who brings you not just material prosperity but spiritual well being too. This rosewood pooja mandir is ideal for homes, hotel lobbies or any space where divine can be invoked and worshipped. Decorate your home with this mandir and invite the divine to become a part of your daily life. Maintenance is minimum with frequent dusting and wiping.

Maintenance and care-do dust the figurine, altar and mandir frequently so that it retains the luster and extends the longevity of the wood.
