In Indian homes, having a dedicated pooja room or temple is considered auspicious and an integral part of the house design. However, only some have the luxury of space for a separate pooja room. This is where innovative mandir designs in walls and pooja rooms built into walls come into the picture.
Even in small houses and flats, you may create a holy area for prayer and devotion with wall-mounted mandirs and pooja niches. You can create beautiful pooja areas on any wall in your living room, bedroom, or any other place without having to add more floor space if you put some thought and imagination into it. Read on to learn more about pooja room designs.
When deciding on a mandir or pooja room design for your wall, keep the following factors in mind:
Thoroughly measure the wall area you intend to utilise for constructing the pooja mandir, including full height, width, and depth. Precisely map out available dimensions to plan the appropriate size and layout of the mandir.
Vertically oriented units extending upwards can optimally maximise limited space for narrow walls. Consider integrating customised storage nooks and open shelves, based on exact measurements, to hold pooja accessories. Small platforms can be built in below if the floor area allows it.
The specific Hindu gods and deities you pray to, the types of rituals and pooja procedures regularly performed, personal aesthetic tastes, vastu considerations, and family customs should all contribute to guiding overall mandir design.
Match architectural styles such as ornate traditional, sleek modern, airy minimalist, harmoniously blended fusion, or unconventionally creative options to what personally resonates with your faith and preferences.
Ingenious wall-mounted mandirs provide tremendous flexibility across budgets. A simple painted recess with a bare ledge can transform small wall sections for those with compact spaces and lower budgets. Intricately hand-carved designer sets featuring fully customised cabinetry, specialised storage, concealed lighting and exquisite finishes provide luxurious upgrades for those willing to invest more generously.
Also, consider uniquely DIY options like thematic photo-collage walls or recycled material installations if on a tight budget.

When finalising construction materials and surface finishes, carefully evaluate the ease of accessibility and upkeep. Non-porous surfaces such as durable vitrified tiles, polished granite, marbled composites, treated wood, or scratch-resistant glass are easy to swipe and clean of accumulated dust, stubborn oil stains, and grime build-up.
However, untreated wood, elaborately embellished paints or delicate wallpaper require more careful maintenance. Plan open access to all mandir areas for thorough periodic cleaning rituals.
Here are some popular types of pooja room designs for walls:
These intricately detailed designs draw inspiration from age-old Indian temple architecture. They feature regal entrance torans, finely carved jaali screens, sturdy stone pillars, and other ornate embellishments.
Auspicious materials like seasoned teak wood, Italian marble slabs inlaid with semi-precious stones, and brass decorative accents recreate a classical sacred aesthetic.
Contemporary minimalist designs incorporate easy-to-maintain modular storage units with adjustable shelves, concealed overhead lighting, enamelled steel open cabinets for displaying murtis, and sleek finishes like high-gloss auto paints, designer laminates sourced from across the globe and clear or tinted acrylic sheets.
Clean lines, neutral tones, and integrated lighting characterise these fuss-free functional spaces.
