Anyone got Nice/Heavy Pooja Mandir from India??

veeramachaneni · Sep 11, 2012

Hi All,

We just kept a deposit down to build our new dream Home I am so excited and Happy just to think about it. I know its not a big deal for so many people.But for me I am so Excited.

It will take 6 to 8 months for them to finish the house. So I would like to get few things from India like that Big Pooja Mandir and a nice rocking chair, Ganesh Statues , Tanjore Paintings...etc

I checked Lepakshi Handlooms website. Is there any other things that you would suggest that I might need?? Anything please let me know.

I will add that to my list of things and will buy it when my budget allows.

also Other than Lepakshi emporium, Kalanjali do you know any nice shops?

Did you ever get any furniture shipped from India??

My Dad can go in person buy it and ship it , But I don't know anyone who has done that.

All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hearty Congratulations veeramachaneni on your nw home It is only natural for you te get excited! I do know os some people who got custom built furniture from India! That said, you can bring some heavy lamps to hang down from ceiling, perhaps curtians if you wish, may be a diwan set, tradtional wide bowls which can be used to fill water andfloat lotus etc! There is no end to what you can do - if you have a plan, perhaps it is easier. Like you want one room traditional, one room like this, like that etc, it would become easier. And yes many people I knwo have brought Pooja mantapa from India. You can certainly check out any other state's emporium that are present in your place like Cauvery (Bangalore), Kashmir emporium, Rajasthani emporium etc.

Hope fully this will kick start the conversation! Best wishes!

Oh so Adorable. He is very Talented. I found online how to build your own pooja mandir as well. Some one posted step by step details but I highly doubt it that my DH will try and finish it. He will start that DIY project and It will always be IN Progress.

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply Radhu. My Family is from Hyd and It may not be possible for us to get from Ahmadabad.
But I did like some mandaps from Kauvery Handicrafts.
