Giri UK (giriuk.com) is specifically set up to serve Hindu temples across the United Kingdom with authentic, temple-grade puja supplies. As the UK franchisee of Giri Trading Agency Private Limited — one of India's oldest and most respected suppliers to temples — Giri UK can source items at scale including temple curtains (deity screens), temple decorations, upachara puja items, bells, temple umbrellas, thombais, and ceremonial vessels. Temples requiring regular or bulk supply are encouraged to contact Giri UK directly via the Contact Us page to discuss their requirements.
A temple deity screen — also called a temple curtain or garbha griha screen — is a decorative fabric or synthetic panel placed in front of the deity's sanctum (garbha griha) in a Hindu temple. It serves two ritual purposes: it creates a sacred boundary between the deity and the congregation, and it allows the priest to perform the full sequence of puja upacharas (ritual steps) including mantra chanting, archana, and neivedyam in the prescribed privacy, before drawing back the screen for the communal aarti (darshan). Giri UK stocks temple deity screens in various deity designs including Durga Mata, Murugan, Ganesha, Balaji, Varamahalakshmi, and Ram Darbar — in both smaller and large 8x5 ft formats for temple use.
Temple umbrellas — known as chatri or kodai — are ceremonial canopies placed above deity idols in Hindu temples and procession floats as a mark of royal honour and divine sovereignty. They signify that the deity is the supreme ruler deserving of regal reverence. In South Indian temple tradition, the umbrella is one of the key upa-alankara (secondary decorative ornaments) offered to the deity. Giri UK stocks velvet temple umbrellas in sizes including 9-inch and 12-inch, suitable for temple altars and home shrines with larger deity idols.
Thombais (also spelled Thombai) are traditional South Indian decorative pillar or column-shaped ornaments used to flank the entrance of a temple sanctum or to frame a deity during festival decoration. They are typically made of sponge or fabric over a structured frame and decorated in auspicious colours — most commonly red, white, and gold. A pair of thombais placed on either side of the deity's shrine creates a visually striking and traditionally correct frame for worship. Giri UK stocks thombai sets in 1-foot and 1.5-foot heights for both temple and home puja mandap use.
Puja Upachara refers to the ritual offerings made to a deity during Hindu worship. The word upachara means 'service' or 'attendance'. A standard upachara puja includes five steps (Pancha Upachara): offering fragrance (gandham), flowers (pushpa), incense (dhupa), a lamp (deepa), and food (neivedyam). The full Shodashopachara (sixteen-step) ritual adds invocation, seating, water for feet, water for hands, water for sipping, bathing, clothing, sacred thread, sandalwood paste, flowers, incense, lamp, food, betel, and prostration. Temples performing elaborate daily rituals require all these components. Giri UK supplies upachara items to temples and devotees across the UK.
Not necessarily. Giri UK (giriuk.com) is the official UK franchisee of Giri Trading Agency Private Limited, meaning temples in the UK can access India-sourced, temple-grade puja supplies — including deity screens, temple decorations, upachara items, lamps, incense, vastrams, and more — without the complexity of direct international import. Giri UK handles sourcing, customs compliance, and UK delivery, making it a practical one-stop supplier for temples requiring regular restocking. Temples with specific or bespoke requirements can also use the On Demand section of the website.
Giri UK stocks temple bells including brass and enamel-finish temple bells and Kavadi Mani (small bells used on devotional kavadi structures during Thaipusam and other Murugan festivals). Temple bells are rung during aarti to announce the presence of the divine, dispel negative energy, and focus the congregation's attention. They are an essential part of both daily puja and large festival ceremonies. Giri UK can advise on appropriate bell sizes for home mandirs versus larger temple altars.
Yes. Giri UK is equipped to support bulk orders for Hindu temples across the UK. As the franchisee of one of India's largest dedicated puja supply networks, Giri UK can source items at the quantities and specifications required for temples serving regular congregations.

Temples interested in a trade account or bulk supply arrangement are encouraged to contact Giri UK directly.
Giri UK's product range is rooted in the Agamic South Indian temple tradition — the ritual framework governing Shaiva, Vaishnava, and Shakta temple worship. The range includes items specific to Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Kerala temple customs, including deity vastrams, temple curtains featuring South Indian deity iconography (such as Murugan, Amman, Balaji, and Ganapati), Kuthu Vilakku, traditional dhotis and panchakacham for deities, upachara sets, and festival-specific items. The range also accommodates North Indian traditions including Ram Darbar screens and Varamahalakshmi puja items.
