A prayer altar or a temple inside your house is more than a room for worshiping – it is rather an island of calm and positive energy. Whether you desire a place for spiritual peace or stillness, or whether you wish to contemplate and look for some inspirational thoughts; effectively building such a prayer area enhances one’s spirituality in all possible ways. Manobhav aims to create various handcrafted decor items like god idols, wall hangings, figurines, and other items to enhance the beauty and the holiness of a space. Detailed information on how to create a calming prayer room at your home will be offered below.
1. Choose the Perfect Spot for Your Prayer Space
The initial step of making the calmness of the prayer area is to find the proper location. If possible, pick a section of the house that is relatively obtained, quiet and far from disturbances. If possible, position the spirit room where its location gets sunlight as this will help to bring some warmth and positive energy into the space.
In case of smaller houses or flat type set up, you could create a separate space in the drawing room or even in the bedroom. The most important thing is that the area is cut off and there is some variations from the other areas where normal activities take place.
In case of smaller houses or flats, a specific corner in your living space or bedroom may suffice. The most important thing is to make the area feel meaningful and different from other areas of living.
2. Select a Beautiful Base or Altar
An altar or base is the most important thing that one must consider when preparing a prayer area. You can use small wooden or marble tables, decorative bases or even an ordinary table depending on your space. Ensure that the base is firm and easy to maintain.
If our line has a hand me down such as a hand-carved Padmavathi wall hanging or Shrinath Ji frame, that should be the main attraction. These pieces will automatically incense anyone that beholds the craftsmanship.
3. Add Handcrafted God Idols
Idols of deities are the most essential elements of any praying area. Pick the idols that connect with you in terms of spirituality and visually. At Manobhav, we have finely hand carved deity idols in semi precious stones, resin and silver plated options.
Silver-Plated Idols: Within these offerings can be found silver-plated Indian Gods, such as Lord Ganesha or Goddess Lakshmi for the style conscious buyers. These are not only stylish statues, but also enhance the royal look of the area.
Semi-Precious Stone Idols: Statues made with materials such as green adventurine or yellow aventurine stones adds energy into the prayer space and brings in splashes of color too.
Resin Figurines: While being lightweight, resin figurines are a great addition to any modern home. Their beautifully detailed hand-carved accents are ideal for minimalist or tiny environments.
4. Make Use of Wall Hangings for a Beautiful Theme
Wall hangings will help you create an art piece out of your declared prayer area. Remember to include some wall ornament such as the Exquisite Saraswati Ji Wall Frame or even Radha Krishna Wall Hanging Frame. These put together provide backdrops that are so breathtaking where the various pieces create a calm and a meditative environment in the room.
Pro tip: Install an overhead light in the area above the wall hanging to accentuate its features while gently illuminating the prayer area.
5. Arrange Spiritual Figurines and Decorative Elements
To make the overall decoration more appealing, you may space out some more spiritual figurines around the main idol or altar. For instance:
On both sides of the altar place a Handcrafted Resin Elephant Statue, which stands for wisdom, and strength.
6. Light Up the Space with Warm Lighting
The importance of lighting in the serene environment cannot be underestimated. To add light to the space, use methods like light warmed diyas. To add to the place's traditional ambiance and enhance its spirituality, a beautiful diya made of brass or silver is put next to the idol.
Incase wall mounted decor is being used, focus light or a miniature bulb should be placed close to it in order to accentuate the workmanship associated with it.
7. Keep It Organized and Clean
Maintaining a clutter-free space is necessary to preserve purity of the prayer zone. Drawers with lids can be used for such items as incense stick, oils and prayer books as accessories. Features also available at Manobhav include the imitation of such structures as hand-carved resin caskets used for storing jewelry, which can also serve to keep sacred articles such as mala beads or offerings.
