Find The Best Prayer Units For Your Home At Urban Ladder

Most spiritual Hindu homes consider the pooja mandir to be a sacred place, meant to bring positivity, prosperity and abundant blessing to the whole family. It is where the family worships together, conducts daily or special poojas as well as to light the lamp and suffuse the home with good tidings. It is advised to place the prayer unit for home in areas with plenty of light, and this could be the kitchen, the living room or a dedicated hallway. According to ancient vaastu shastra, it is also recommended that the prayer unit be placed in any other room that faces the North East as this is the best direction to offer prayers in.  And when it comes to choosing the perfect prayer unit, it’s important to invest in a holistic design that complements your pooja samagri. You could consider an all white mandir with an open design for a minimal and modern look. Or you could opt for a wooden mandir design with intricately etched doors and pillars for a more traditional look. Whatever your preference, you are sure to find it when you buy prayer units online at Urban Ladder.

• Floating Prayer Units

  
  A wall-mounted prayer unit saves up on floor space and can fit in any well-lit corner of your home. This type of pooja mandir is especially suited for the corners of your kitchen or the bedroom where the mandir is not competing for space with other wall mounted furnishings. And even though these mandirs are on the smaller end, they can still feature detailed work adorning the entirety of the structure. Featuring elements such as latticed wood doors with intricate floral and divine motifs  and jharokha style entrances, you can choose a beautiful prayer unit that serves as a serene and positive worship space, with ease. You can drape the wall-mounted pooja mandir with graceful dhurries to further elevate its appearance too.

• Prayer Cabinets

  
  A prayer cabinet is uber-functional and elegant in equal measure, fitted with plenty of storage space to store your pooja essentials safely. From holy books to garlands, plenty of items can be tucked away in the drawers and cubbies of a prayer cabinet. The platforms of these designs can be draped with carpets too, to keep it clean and beautiful.

Tips To Choose The Right Prayer Unit For Your Home

• Size

  
  If your apartment is on the smaller end, invest in a petite wall-mounted prayer unit that can squeeze into tight corners. But if you have a large space dedicated to prayer and worship, then a large pooja mandir that can be set up on the floor is a great option.

• Storage

  
  It’s important to lookout for the storage options in a prayer unit, to ensure that all of your pooja essentials are stowed away safely and efficiently. To keep items that are private and sacred, such as holy books, prayer beads, bells and more, consider a design with 2 to 3 in-built drawers. This will also protect all of the objects from dust and grime. For pooja samagri that needs to be used on a daily basis, a design with open shelving is best. Oil, agarbathis, flowers, etc can be stored in these shelves and you can very easily reach out for them as you pray. A design with a combination of different storage options is optimal and allows you to keep a variety of items as intended.

• Design

  
  You can choose from a variety of pooja mandir styles today. If you prefer a light and airy design, opt for a prayer unit without doors. But if your prayer space is incomplete without a pair of intricately carved doors, then a closed design might be more up your alley. You can choose to go for lots of decoration in terms of bells adorning the doors, or elaborate motifs adorning the surface of the mandir or you could opt for a pared-down design with minimal decoration.

• Paint The Walls

  
  Painting the walls surrounding the pooja mandir in light yellow or orange tones will bring a feeling of serenity and warmth in the space. These colors will also maximize the effect of the natural lights of the diyas and lamps within the mandir, making the home temple seem bigger and brighter. You may also position the temple against a textured wall in your home to demarcate space and to draw attention to your well-crafted mandir.

• Populate The Mandir With Beautiful Idols

  
  Central to the mandir are the idols you place within the space, and they symbolize a variety of things. Ganesha idols are known to be the protectors of households and keep evil energies at bay. They’re available in a range of alluring materials too, such as glinting brass designs or polished ceramic styles. Krishna idols on the other hand, are symbols of love and energy. They feature Krishna in a variety of forms too, from tender baby Krishna to Radha Krishna entwined in loving embrace.

• Use Spiritual Paintings And Lighting

  
  The lights used in the pooja room play a vital part in establishing a solemn yet cheerful aura. Colorful string or fairy lights or small battery-operated candle-like lights can be used around the mandir. Spiritual paintings can make for wonderful mandir decor items too, and can be hung up in the mandir or around it to truly enhance the beautiful aura surrounding the space.

• Making Use Of Flowers

  
  Flowers and garlands have always been pooja essentials, both for decoration and as offerings to God. Torans or garlands of fresh marigolds can be used to beautify the doorway of the mandir or the pooja room. They can also be draped on the idols or on the pictures of the idols for added beauty. Their sweet fragrance will make the atmosphere of the space even more positive and sanguine.
