Description
The Arjit Teak Wood Pooja Mandap exhibits an elevated floor structure which displays a cabinet design that includes traditional design elements. The top section of the mandap features a flat crown design which supports three upward finials that create a stable temple profile for the mandap. The front edge displays a row of small hanging bells which create detailed design work that extends across the entire front edge. The front displays four door panels which feature identical design work to maintain visual equilibrium while allowing gentle light to enter. The side panel displays identical geometric jaali patterns which create a visual connection between the front and side design elements. The back panel of the shrine area displays a plain wide design which helps direct attention to the center while creating organized space. The lower section contains a broad storage foundation which contains drawer units that run along both edges and throughout the center section to provide practical storage space while maintaining an orderly appearance. The base rises above ground because of small circular legs which enhance the overall proportions of the base. Teakwood quality emerges through the visible natural grain patterns which spread across all surface areas. The second instance of teak color completes the warm and traditional look of this mandap.
