Temple Oxidise 21×9

Description

Temple Oxidise 21×9 is the top of the oxidised range, a home mandir sized for a corner of a room rather than a shelf. Oxidised keeps it dark and plain, which is what people choose when the room around it is already busy.

A mandir at this size is generally a fixed feature. It gets its own spot, a bajot or a low table under it, a cloth on the surface, and it stays there rather than being put away after Diwali. That is worth thinking about before ordering, because moving it later is not a one person job.

How is this different from the Mina at the same size? Only the finish. Mina is the coloured, enamelled look and oxidised is the dark antique one. The measurements are the same, and the choice comes down to whether you want the mandir to stand out in the room or sit quietly in it.

How much clearance does it need above? Leave a hand’s width at least. A diya and an incense stick both throw heat straight up, and a shelf directly over the top of a mandir will discolour over a few months of daily lighting.

The coloured alternative at the same measurements, the Mina 21 by 9, is stocked alongside, and home mandirs at Panjab Supermarket carries the cloth, lamps and vessels that go with one. Dust it with a dry cloth and keep it out of direct sun, because heat and damp are what lift a finish.
