01
A niche
Set into a kitchen or living wall with its own light and a defined edge — the smallest footprint that still reads as deliberate, not a leftover shelf.
Pooja rooms
A small room that
has to be still.
Six square feet, usually. It gets the least design attention in the house and is the one place people go when they want quiet. We think that's the wrong way round.

Deliberate,
not left over.
Whether it's a niche in the kitchen wall or a room of its own, the direction you face, the light and the ventilation get decided before a line is drawn — not squeezed into the spare wall.

What we considerSix things that make
Six things that make
a corner feel sacred.
It's the smallest room in the house and usually the last one anyone plans. These are the six things we decide first, because a corner only feels still when the ordinary details are handled.

Orientation & vastu
Before the brass shinesThe airflow and surfaces
The airflow and surfaces
nobody notices working.
01
Smoke path
Camphor has somewhere to go
A daily flame in a sealed niche greys the ceiling within a year. We route a discreet vent so the smoke clears instead of settling overhead.
02
Oil-proof top
Sealed against the lamp
The base takes spilled oil and ghee daily. A non-porous stone or mineral top wipes clean and never stains or scorches.
03
Placement
Direction set on the plan
The facing and corner are fixed against the floor plan before joinery — north-east where it works, and an honest alternative where it doesn't.
04
Discreet lighting
Wired in, not clipped on
The warm light is built into the frame and dimmed from the wall, so there's no dangling fixture or trailing lead near the flame.
05
Moisture control
Kept off the damp walls
Where the niche meets an external or kitchen wall we barrier against damp, so the timber and the finish don't swell over the years.
06
Hidden storage
Oil, wicks and thali away
A closed drawer for the lamp oil, wicks and spare thalis keeps the visible shelf clear, so the space reads calm rather than cluttered.

A standalone unit
A freestanding cabinet with a stone top, a back panel and ventilation built in — a shrine you can place where the direction actually works.
03
A dedicated room
The whole six square feet given over to it — a door, a threshold and a stillness the rest of the house doesn't quite reach.
In motion
The light does
half the work.
A warm 2700K wash on the idols, a dimmer for the evening aarti, and a back panel that catches it. The room changes character as the light goes — which is most of what makes it feel still.
PlacementVastu where the
Vastu where the
plan allows.
We follow vastu where the floor plan allows it and say so plainly when it doesn't. A south-west corner doesn't become north-east because everyone wants it to.
- North-east placement wherever the plan permits
- Facing decided by where you face, not the spare wall
- Idols above waist height, around 900mm to the base
- Honest advice when the geometry simply won't allow it
The unitA niche or a room,
A niche or a room,
never an afterthought.
A pooja unit works in a kitchen or living wall if it's given a defined edge — a change of material, a light of its own. What doesn't work is a shelf that's simply part of the crockery unit.

Questions
Asked often
Where the floor plan allows, yes — north-east placement, facing east or north. Where the plan genuinely doesn't allow it we say so rather than pretend. A south-west corner doesn't become north-east because everyone wants it to.
Very commonly, and it works if it's given a defined edge — a niche, a change of material, a light of its own. What doesn't work is a shelf that's simply part of the crockery unit.
Ventilation, always — camphor and incense have to go somewhere or your ceiling greys within a year. Corian or granite tops wipe clean of oil, and we keep laminate out of the unit entirely.
