How to Choose the Right Mandir for Your Space

Measure Your Available Space

Before falling in love with a design, grab your measuring tape. Check the wall or corner where you're thinking of placing your mandir. Consider ceiling height and the space you'll need for comfortable prayer.

Consider Your Home's Interior Design

Your mandir should complement, not compete. Modern homes might favor minimalist or hybrid designs, while traditional homes suit carved or classic options beautifully.

Think About Your Lifestyle

Ask yourself a few important questions: Do you need storage? Is easy access important? Do you practice daily prayers? Your answers will help determine the perfect style for your needs.

Choose Your Material

Wood is warm, traditional, and versatile, available in teak, sheesham, oak, and ash. It's easy to maintain and timeless, making it a popular choice for many homes.

Marble is luxurious, cool, and elegant, though it does require more regular care. However, the elegance is truly unmatched.

Glass and Wood combinations are contemporary and easy to clean, making them perfect for modern homes.

Composite Materials are affordable and durable, making them great for budget-conscious buyers who don't want to compromise on quality.

Think About Lighting

Do you want LED lighting to create ambiance, or do you prefer traditional oil lamps? Good lighting truly enhances the spiritual atmosphere of your space.

Set Your Budget

Mandirs range from 15,000 to 5,00,000 rupees and beyond, depending on materials, size, and customization. The Mandir Store has options for every budget.

Plan for Installation and Maintenance

Check if professional installation is included with your purchase. Some materials need specific care. Marble needs polishing, and wood needs occasional oiling. It's worth knowing upfront what you're getting into.

Wall-mounted mandirs (2'x1.5') or corner mandirs (2'x2') work best. They fit standard rooms without overwhelming your space.
