The room
Write with the country, the wall, and the ceiling height. A photograph of the space helps. Say who the shrine is for.
Leaving the workshop
From the bench to the room
These are finished objects. They leave polished, with doors and drawers fitted, ready to stand in the room they were drawn for.
The drawing
The workshop answers with the wood, the form, and the carving. Price follows that drawing. Nothing is cut until it is agreed.
The carving
The piece is made in India. You can ask for photographs at the stages that matter: the pillars, the crown, the polish.
The crate
The finished mantapa is wrapped, blocked, and crated. Doors and drawers are secured. Bells and loose fittings travel inside the crate.
Papers
Indian rosewood is a regulated timber. Finished pieces travel with the papers a destination asks for, and those requirements are confirmed before the crate is booked. Send the country with the first note so that conversation can start with the drawing.
Who commissions
Families furnishing a prayer room. Temple committees. Architects and interior designers. Collectors. Orders are welcome from anywhere. Sizes can be sent in centimetres or inches.
What is not a crate
The glass pooja room and the wide wall mandir are planned with a house. They can still be commissioned; they are drawn against a plan, and the way they travel is agreed with that plan. A single pavilion or cabinet is the piece that leaves in one crate.
