Teak Heritage Carved teak temple Pooja Room Design
Indian craft detailing on a contemporary frame — jaali, cane, inlay and hand-finished brass, used sparingly. A pooja space needs orientation, ventilation and a place for everything the ritual requires. We resolve the direction and the smoke path first, then design the joinery around it.

Pooja Room questions
Which direction should a pooja room face?
The north-east quadrant is traditionally preferred, with the person praying facing east or north. Where the plan does not allow it, the north-east corner of any room is the usual compromise.
Should the pooja unit have doors?
It depends on use. Daily worship favours an open niche; homes that light camphor and want the space closed between rituals are better served by shutters, ideally ventilated.
How do I deal with smoke and soot?
Ventilate above the unit — a jaali back panel, a grille, or proximity to a window. Avoid laminate directly above the lamp; stone, marble or solid timber handles heat and soot far better.
Can a pooja unit go in the kitchen?
It is common in compact flats but traditionally avoided, particularly beside the sink or the hob. If there is no alternative, place it on the north-east wall away from the wet zone.
What material lasts best for a mandir?
Solid teak or marble. Both take heat, oil and soot without delaminating, and both age into the space rather than looking worn.
