Description

Temple Oxidise 18×9 is a home mandir in the oxidised finish, and it is the size most families settle on once the mandir stops being one murti on a shelf.

By this point a household mandir usually holds several murtis, framed pictures of elders, a small Gita or Guru Granth Sahib gutka, and the everyday items that live there permanently. Eighteen gives the height for that without going to the largest sizes, which start to want a wall of their own.

What does a temple this size stand on? A chest of drawers, a low cupboard or a bajot, the short wooden stool made for the purpose. It is a table-top temple rather than a floor standing one, so it needs something solid and roughly waist height under it.

Is one unit really all that is left? That was the stock figure when this was written, and these arrive in small numbers rather than by the pallet. Ring +31 6 20009192 to check before you make the trip, or order online and it holds the unit for you.

The largest in this finish, the oxidised 21 by 9, is the next step, and the rest of the aisle here holds the diyas, cloth and powders that go with a mandir. Dust it with a dry cloth and keep it out of direct sun, because heat and damp are what lift a finish.
