For The Home Mandir
Pieces for a home temple and pooja room
Framed gemstone symbols sized for a mandir shelf. Sealed under glass, so diya smoke and daily dusting never reach the stones.
Why they suit a pooja room
- Sealed under glass, so diya and agarbatti smoke never reaches the stones
- No polishing, no tarnishing, and no discoloration, unlike brass or silver
- Stands on its own engraved base, so it fits a mandir shelf without a stand or a hook
- Dust the glass with a dry cloth, which is the only upkeep there is
- Natural stones rather than plated metal, so the colour does not wear off
What we make
- Om in amethyst, Rs 13,900: 33 square cut stones, deep violet throughout
- Swastik, Rs 25,900: 27 stones, four arms in four colours
- Ganesh front facing, Rs 19,900: 53 stones, meant to be met head on
- Shri Ram in amethyst, Rs 22,900: the name written in 40 stones
- Trishul, Rs 17,900: 51 stones, one strong vertical for a Shiva shelf
- Ek Onkar in citrine, Rs 8,900: 34 stones, for a gurdwara room at home
Worth knowing before you buy
- These are framed showpieces, not idols for abhishek or ritual bathing
- Nothing needs energising, activating or wearing. They are objects for a room
- Planetary associations are noted where they exist, as tradition rather than claim
- Keep out of long direct sunlight, which fades suede over years
- Do not open the frame: the stones are hand set and cannot be re-set
