Description

Temple Mina With Door 21×9 is a home mandir in the coloured Mina finish with doors fitted across the opening. It is the middle of the three door models here.

Doors change what a mandir can do in a normal house. They keep cooking grease and dust off the murtis in a flat where the kitchen is not far away, they let the mandir be closed while guests are over or during the days a household observes as unclean, and they hide the clutter that gathers on any shelf that gets used daily.

Why pay more for doors? Dust, mostly. A mandir accumulates a film of oil and incense smoke over a year, and doors cut that down to the front panel instead of every murti. The second reason is privacy, being able to close it rather than move everything.

Is it the same size as the open front Mina? The listing gives both as 21 by 9, so the outer measurements match. The usable opening on a door model is always slightly less than on an open one, so measure your tallest murti and ring the shop if it is close.

Without the doors, the open front Mina at 21 by 9 costs fifteen euros less, and mandir supplies cover the cloth, the diyas and the powders that go inside. Dust it with a dry cloth and keep it out of direct sun, because heat and damp are what lift a finish.
