In an Indian household, there is always some space in the house known as the pooja place or the Pooja room. It can be a small room or a corner of the house. As a believer in God, praying becomes an important part of our daily routine. The pooja room needs to be a peaceful and clean place where one feels calm and relaxed instantly. If you have enough space in the house to dedicate it as a pooja then well and good. Otherwise, you can design a corner in your house and make it your pooja room.
Some ideas have been compiled and enlisted here as to how you can design and decorate the holy place especially using wood.
1. A SEPARATE POOJA ROOM
It is a huge advantage to have a separate pooja room. It gives you enough room to place a lot of idols or an idol of big size. A wallpaper depicting the divine can be used and a false ceiling with LED lights can also be installed. The room can be designed with materials made of wood. A latticework can be created from wood and placed on both sides of the entrance. Latticework has been used since time immemorial as it acts as a curtain and allows the light to pass through at the same time. It will give the same effect in the room along with a royal and elegant look.
2. POOJA ROOM IN THE CORNER
A small corner in the house can be transformed into a beautiful pooja room. Wooden cladding can be used as a background to give religious vibes. The surroundings can be a lamination on the wood with a color combination of brown and white. White is a symbol of peace that can have a calming effect on your mind. Further due to the shortage of space, draws can be installed for storing the essentials required in the pooja room.
3. A BLEND OF THE POOJA ROOM IN THE LIVING ROOM
You can always ask an interior designer to save some space in the living room to create a pooja room. You can further ask him to design it in a different way than the living room, which matches the décor of the house. Apart from false ceilings, small niches can be constructed in the wall for the idols of the deities. Another idea could be to build a small platform to mark the holy area. In this way, the pooja room is separated from the living room and at the same time within the living room.
4. POOJA ROOM ON THE WALL
What to do if you don’t have any corner available for a Pooja room? You need not worry as an option is to hang a small pooja unit on the wall. It can be made of wood and make sure the color matches the décor of your house. It will have in-built storage and space to keep all the idols and other ingredients. In this way, you can have a beautiful pooja room which doesn’t take up a lot of space.
So these were some ideas to incorporate a holy place in your house. Whether you have space or not, a pooja area is an essential part of the house. Thus, with these ideas, you can have a pooja room just apt for your space. Pooja rooms can be made from marble and granite too. Keep reading the blogs to know more about them.
