Floor Standing Marble Temple: A Timeless Choice for Elegant Pooja Spaces

As a freestanding temple they take up more space with the ability to hold more idols, pooja accessories, decorations and storage. They are solid and can be used in dedicated pooja areas, large living areas, villas, apartments, offices, hotels and other spiritual areas.

OM ART AND CRAFT can create bespoke marble temples based on the space available, style of design, size, storage requirements, type of marble and style of the interior.

What Is A Floor Standing Marble Temple?

A Floor Standing Marble Temple is a freestanding mandir. It can include raised idol platforms, carved pillars, decorative arches, shikhar style elements, back panels, drawers, cabinets and optional lighting.

This means it can be larger and more intricate. Great for clients who want a striking pooja area.

It can be made to any size, depending on how much space there is in the room and how many idols can fit inside.

Why Choose A Floor Standing Marble Temple?

One of the key benefits of having a floor standing temple is the flexibility.

It can take up more space than many smaller mandirs. The design can include multiple idols, diya holders, incense holders, prayer books, flowers and other pooja accessories.

It can be a stunning centerpiece to the room. As it is made from marble it has a natural aesthetic. With decorated carvings and balance to create a calming and elegant feel.

Depending on the design a Floor Standing Marble Temple can be used in traditional and modern interiors.

Traditional Floor Standing Marble Temple

Traditional marble temples can have many decorative features including carved pillars, arches, domes, floral and religious designs, shikhar style and intricate edging.

This is perfect for those wanting traditional mandirs with an Indian style.

Traditional temples can have tiered bases, raised idol areas, side pillars, decorative back panels and drawers.

They can be made to any level of intricacy.

Modern Floor Standing Marble Temple

Modern homes may require a more simple and clean design.

Modern Floor Standing Marble Temples can have straight lines, minimal carvings, subtle edging, smooth surfaces, clean platforms and built-in lighting.

This can be perfect for modern apartments, villas, office interiors and modern pooja areas.

White marble is often favoured for a bright and timeless look. However, the stone should be chosen based on the design and theme.

Floor Standing Marble Temple For Villas

Villas tend to have more space so larger and intricate pooja areas can be created.

The design can include tall pillars, large arches, wide platforms, multiple storage areas, shikhar style decorations and bespoke back panels.

The temple can be made to fit the size of the pooja area to give a balanced look.

For larger areas lighting can be added to emphasise the carvings and idol area.

Floor Standing Marble Temple For Apartments

Even apartments can have a Floor Standing Marble Temple if the measurements are planned properly.

A smaller design can be created to fit into a dedicated corner, niche in the living area or small pooja area.

A simpler design with fewer pillars, small storage areas and medium height can be better for apartments.

Before ordering, measure how much width, height and depth there is. Also consider how much space there will be for walking around, furniture nearby, doors and electrical points.

Choosing The Right Marble

The look of the Floor Standing Marble Temple will depend heavily on what marble is chosen.

Natural marble can vary in colour, veining, texture and pattern. Some people like simple white marbles with subtle veining whilst others prefer warmer colours and more noticeable patterns.

It is important to know what marble is available and how the natural variations can affect the look.

The marble should also be suitable for the size, intricacy and where it will be placed.

Marble Temple With Storage

Adding storage can make the Floor Standing Temple very practical.

Drawers and cabinets can be added to the bottom part of the temple to store:

• Diya accessories
• Incense sticks
• Cotton wicks
• Prayer books
• Pooja cloth
• Match boxes
• Flowers
• Small religious items

It should be easy to reach and not detract from the design.

Large mandirs can have multiple drawers/cabinets, whilst smaller ones may only have 1 or 2.

Marble Temple With Pillars And Arches

Pillars and arches are some of the most popular decoration features for Floor Standing Marble Temples.

They help to create a more traditional look by framing the deity area.

The pillars can be plain or carved. Arches can have floral, religious or decorative edging.

They should be sized to fit the overall size.

Floor Standing Marble Temple With Lighting

Adding lighting can make the marble temple look nice. Especially in the evening.

LED lighting can be added to the back panel, underneath shelves, around the top part and around any decorative features.

Warm lighting often looks good to create a calming and inviting feel.

Electrical points should be considered before adding lighting so the wiring can be kept neat.

The lighting should add to the temple without causing too much glare.

How To Choose The Right Size

Choosing the right size is very important.

Consider the following before ordering a Floor Standing Marble Temple:

• How much width there is on the floor
• How tall the temple can be
• How deep it needs to be
• How many idols
• Size of idols
• Storage requirements
• How much space there is to walk around
• Space for drawers to open
• Electrical points
• Furniture nearby

It should be big enough to comfortably fit in daily pooja but not too large to be out of proportion.

Bespoke Floor Standing Marble Temple

Creating a bespoke temple means it can be made to your exact requirements.

You can choose:

• Size
• Marble
• Number of pillars
• Arch design
• Shikhar style
• Back panel
• Storage drawers
• Cabinets
• Lighting
• Idol platform
• Surface
• Carving

This is great if the space doesn’t fit the standard ready-made sizes.

Floor Standing Marble Temple Price

The price of a Floor Standing Marble Temple can vary depending on:

• Type of marble
• Size
• Amount of marble
• Thickness
• Intricacy of carvings
• Pillars and arches
• Shikhar style
• Storage
• Lighting
• Surface
• Delivery
• Installation

Simple small temples will have less materials and work needed than large intricate mandirs.

To get an accurate price you should decide on the design, marble, size and bespoke requirements.

Installation

Marble can be quite heavy so it is important to plan the installation.

Ensure the floor is sturdy and even. There should be enough space to move the parts of the temple into the room.

Large temples may need to be installed or put together on site.

Check that the doors are the right size, stairs are okay, lift size, passageways and room access.

Electrical points for lighting should be set up in advance.

Looking After Marble Temples

Marble should be looked after regularly but is easy to do.

Wipe away any dust using a soft cloth. Any spillages should be wiped up.

Don’t use acidic products like lemon or vinegar as this can cause etching or damage. Don’t use harsh abrasive products.

Use a soft brush to wipe away any dust from the carved areas.

If you look after your marble properly then it will stay polished and decorative.
