MATA KA SHRINGAR SET

Description

Mata Ka Shringar Set is the set of ornaments offered to the goddess when she is dressed for a puja. Shringar means the adorning itself, the chunri draped over the murti and the small pieces that go on with it.

Navratri is the season for it, when the Mata is set up at home for nine days and dressed properly on the first, and it is also offered at a jagran, at a chowki and when a new murti is installed. Sets like this exist because assembling each piece separately from a general shop is close to impossible outside India.

What is in the set? The listing does not itemise it. A shringar set of this kind normally centres on a chunri with small ornaments to go with it, but ring +31 6 20009192 and hear the actual contents rather than taking our word for what is usually included.

Will it fit any size of murti? A chunri drapes over most home sized murtis, but ornaments are made to a size. If your murti is unusually large or small, check the measurements with the shop before you buy.

Under the murti, a metre of plain white puja cloth covers the shelf, and more of the same aisle carries the lamps, the powders and the incense. Keep the set in its box between festivals so nothing gets bent or lost.
