A home temple is a sacred space within one's home where devotees can worship and connect with the divine. A wooden temple for home is a popular choice, crafted with intricate carvings and designs, providing a serene environment for spiritual practice. It serves as a focal point for daily prayers, offering a dedicated space for idols or deities. A home temple creates a sense of tranquility and devotion, allowing individuals to establish a personal connection with the divine in the comfort of their own homes.

Items 1-20 of 287Frequently Asked Questions
A home Puja Mandir (also called home temple, pooja room, or God's corner) is the dedicated sacred space within a Hindu home where deity idols, framed pictures and ritual items are kept and daily worship is performed. It can range from a single shelf or corner unit to a fully fitted wooden mandir cabinet. Essential elements include: a solid base or shelf for deity idols, a back panel for framed deity pictures, a space for the deepam (lamp), storage for puja items and ideally a facing direction of east or north. Giri UK's Puja Mandir for Home category covers deity pictures, God stands, Kavadi bells and decorative items for dressing a home mandir.
Giri UK stocks a wide range of framed deity pictures in 9x7 inch format, covering the most widely worshipped Hindu deities: Lord Ganesha (Vinayagar), Sri Lakshmi, Vasthu Lakshmi Devi, Sri Lalita Tripurasundari, Sri Durga Mahishasura Mardini, Meenakshi Amman, Tirumala Tirupati Balaji with Padmavathi, Saraswati Devi, Lord Satya Narayana, Sri Vinayagar and Lord Mayil Murugan. These framed pictures are suitable for placement on the back wall of the home mandir above deity idols. The 9x7 inch format is a standard size fitting most home puja shelf arrangements. Larger cutout pictures (4-inch Kamakshi Amman cutout) are also available.
A God Stand is a decorative metal or resin platform specifically designed to display deity pictures or small framed images in a home puja mandir - typically leaning the framed picture against the stand at an upright angle for worship. The Meenakshi God Stand (4x3.75 inch) at Giri UK is a small, purpose-made stand for displaying deity pictures, particularly suited for Meenakshi Amman and other goddess images. It creates a proper devotional presentation for framed deity pictures, elevating them above the altar surface to a visible, veneratable height. Available in multiple colour finishes.
Traditional Hindu Vastu Shastra recommends that the home puja mandir face east or north, with the devotee facing east while worshipping (ideally towards the rising sun). The northeast corner of the home (Ishanya - the direction of the divine) is considered the most auspicious location for the puja room or mandir. The deity idols should face west or south so the worshipper faces east or north respectively. Avoid placing the mandir in the bedroom (unless unavoidable), bathroom-adjacent walls, or under a staircase. If space is limited, a dedicated shelf on the east or north wall of the living room is the next best option. Giri UK's range covers the items needed for any home mandir setup.
Kavadi Mani (Kavadi Bell) are small, high-pitched brass bells traditionally strung on the Kavadi - the ceremonial burden-carrying structure used by Lord Murugan devotees during Thaipusam and other Murugan festivals. In the home puja context, Kavadi Mani (available at Giri UK in 1.25-inch and 1.5-inch sizes) are used to decorate the home mandir or deity idol stand of Lord Murugan with a ring of bells, creating the distinctive tinkling sound associated with Murugan worship when lightly touched. They are also strung around the Golu display during Navratri as decorative festival bells.
