A Hindu deity's space in the household is the sole source of positivity, bliss, and divinity. The householder has to offer the deity a suitable and ritually pure place to reside, from where they can cast a benevolent gaze on the home. This large wooden traditional temple from Mysore brings with it the vintage South Indian wooden architecture, the time-tested skills of Indian craftsmen, and a perfect throne for your beloved gods to live. The monochrome wooden temple is a miniature version of the innumerable architectural marvels that sprawl all across Southern India sumptuously decorated with auspicious and exquisite elements creating one-of-a-kind woodwork.

The Shikhara of this handmade wooden temple has a rectangular Shikhara with Stupis in the shape of Puranaghata (vase of plenty) and a pointed end on all sides. Floral etchings on the roof and its edges beautify the temple on the upper sections. Waves mimicking temple drapery are finely carved on the lower section of the roof from which hang a series of miniature bells, taking the place of the actual Ghanta (bell) of a Hindu shrine, which is a propitious and purifying element. Four wooden pillars, two on each side shaped like the mini versions of the gigantic columns of Indian temples, support the ornate roof of this woodwork attaching it to the pedestal which is polished flawlessly, giving it a modern lacquered finish.
The center of the polished base of the traditional wooden temple is a bloomed flower, engraved as a permanent Rangoli to the royal home of the gods. A drawer added to the platform brings a utilitarian value to this wooden temple, a balance of convenience and aesthetics. The fine structure rests on four sturdy legs, the front ones carved like the legs of a strong beast, its clawed hooves lurking from underneath the lotus petal etched platform. Animals such as the lion, represent royalty and might are a part of ancient Indian temple architecture and symbolize the power of the divinity that rests in the shrine. An exquisite floral vine with a single flower is engraved in the center of the platform, giving delicate finishing touches to the divine woodwork that is this traditional temple from Mysore.
