6 Mandir Design Ideas for Your Home

Any Indian home is incomplete without a space for prayer. With over 50 deities in the Godscape, there is no dearth of designs for home mandirs or pooja rooms. Even agnostics and atheists enjoy a tranquil space to focus on the inner self. 

In this blog, we’ve narrowed down a number of our best pooja rooms designs. Go ahead and recreate your favourite one or get in touch with a home interior designer in Chennai to help you tweak it to suit your style.

A Display of Faith

Your home mandir can be as simple as a bespoke display cabinet. For our clients’, we used a combination of a beautiful, laminate finish and white onyx marble to create a serene vibe that perfectly complements the rest of the elegantly furnished open-plan home. 

Traditionally Minimal

Your faith is an extension of who you are. Which is why it is especially important to ensure your pooja room design is aligned to your needs. In this case, our clients loved the minimalistic motto of “less is more”. Therefore, we combined a traditional temple aesthetic, and the rules of Vastu Shastra with modular cabinets to create a contemporary space that is rooted in tradition. 

Simply Divine

Sometimes it’s best to keep things super simple. A gorgeous idol of your favourite deity, matching wall colours and a bespoke pendant spotlight – that’s all you need to bring serenity to a space.

Niche Is All You Need

Perhaps it’s divine destiny, but small nooks and niches in your layout are the perfect place for a grand altar. In this nook, we used pristine white tiles along with a sharply contrasting mahogany wood to create a space that is happy, positive and utterly personalised. 

Open Home, Open Heart

We opened this home with a beautiful skylight to bring in plenty of natural light into the space. Warm sunlight is well-known to improve people’s mood, so you’re bound to be happy contemplating the secrets of the universe. The beautiful rosewood in the cabinets and wardrobe perfectly marries the white marble tiles. It also complements the brass lamps and rose gold Ganesh idol which adds to the serenity.

Beautifully Black

It’s rare to find black in a pooja room, but a metallic finish calls just for that. In contemporary designs for home mandirs, you could enhance the shine and shimmer of your silver and brass idols, lamps and other pooja ornaments when set against a backdrop of black onyx wall and countertops. For this client, we also embedded strip lights within the cabinet and provided plenty of recessed lights for a beautifully lit space.

So, those are our 6 beautiful designs for home mandirs. Didn’t find one that suits your style? Avail a free consultation and talk to our best home interior designers in Chennai.

half the posts on r/deathstranding are something along the lines of "Please, I hate Death Stranding, please help me love it!" & brother i can't. i can't, nobody can. if you are not immediately pulled into the rhythm of the deliveryman-ghostbuster gameplay, if you don't have the tolerance for people with stupid names foolishly insisting on the Importance of American as a Concept over and over again, if you are not completely in love with that baby, that will never change. your experience will never improve. you gotta develop a taste for every second of it. you gotta take pride in perfectly balancing your obscene cargo load. you gotta love watching norman reedus chug monster energy and then piss it all out over and over again. you gotta find the joy in rebuilding the highways once every 30 hours of play bc there are <50 active PC players on your strand these days and someone's gotta do it. you gotta develop a near-spousal attachment to a specific delivery truck that you borrowed from someone else because it kinda looks like a USPS van. you either need to be built different or become different of your own volition. this, too, is strand-type gameplay, & it can be learned but not taught

I think the next final destination movie should reveal that Alex Browning faked his death and has spent however many years since the first movie hanging around places with sketchy infrastructure waiting for a disaster to happen. When the moment happens, he saves as many people as he can to widen the list until death circles back to him.

Then cue the montage that shows that Alex had been in the background of every other movie’s opening disaster.
