Wooden Pooja Temple – Traditional Ghar Mandir
A ghar mandir is a home temple — the cabinet that holds deity idols, diyas and puja essentials in a Hindu household. This one comes in four versions across two colourways, white and red, each 30 inches tall in solid mango wood with two built-in drawers. It can stand on the floor or hang on a wall.

Which model do I need?
All four are the same 30"H × 22"W × 11"D temple. Two questions decide it.
Which colour? White for a lighter, contemporary room. Red for the traditional palette associated with Shakti.
Do you want the bajot? The bajot is a matching 6"H × 24"W × 12"D platform that raises the mandir to seated eye level and can also be used on its own as an altar.

Care

Frequently asked questions
Does it arrive assembled?
Yes. It ships fully assembled — no tools and no construction. The only step is flipping the decorative crown into position.
Does it include an interior light?
No. The interior is open and unlit, which lets you fit an LED pooja light of your choice.
Can I keep a lit diya inside?
Use the pull-out drawer. Slide it open and set the diya there, so the flame sits in open air rather than inside the closed cabinet. Keep it clear of the doors and the painted surfaces, and do not leave it burning unattended.
What size idols will fit?
The interior is 17"H × 20"W × 8"D. Measure your tallest murti including its base, and leave room above it for a crown or a small diya. The 20 inch interior width takes several idols side by side.
Can it be wall mounted?
Yes. This model is designed for floor-standing or wall hanging. It does not ship with mounting hardware, and at 12 kg it should be anchored into studs — use a professional installer if you are not confident fitting heavy furniture.
Is the bajot included?
Only on Models 2 and 4. Models 1 and 3 are the mandir alone.
How much does it weigh?
The mandir alone is 12 kg — about 26.5 lb. With the bajot, Models 2 and 4 come to 19.2 kg, close to 42 lb. Plan on two people to move it into position.
How much do the drawers hold?
Everyday pooja essentials — a kumkum box, an incense packet, karpoor, matches, a small bell. Two drawers give you more room than a single-drawer mandir, but they are sized for daily items rather than bulk storage.
What is it made of?
Solid mango wood, finished with hand-embossed painting. Every piece is painted by hand in India, so small variations in the detailing are normal and are a mark of the craft rather than a defect.
How do I care for it?
Wipe with a dry cloth. Keep it out of direct sunlight so the painted finish holds its colour, and avoid water or solvent cleaners on the hand-painted surface.
What if it arrives damaged?
Shipping is insured and we cover transit damage. Photograph the damage and email contact@urliutsav.com and we will replace it or make it right.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days, in original condition and packaging. Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer, so for an item this size please measure your space before ordering.
