The Puja Ghar takes a place of pride in most homes in India – be it Hindus, Sikhs, Jains or Buddhists. Besides serving as the daily place of worship for family members, it is also considered to be a source of positive energy for the house. Little wonder then that when planning a new home, we place a lot of importance on the location of the temple as well as its design and aesthetics.
Also, the Navratra – Diwali season is round the corner – a time when many among us like to give the Puja Ghars at our home a makeover.
We have handpicked for you 10 beautiful temples that are suitable for your residential spaces. We tried to choose a few different types – both in terms of design and material to suit different requirements. So, if you are planning to buy a new temple for your home, we hope you will find the perfect one here:
This one is the top of our selection: a combination of shades of blue with a lot of gold! What’s more – it comes with a couple of drawers that will come in handy to store your puja samagri, Hanuman Chalisa or other prayer books, Agarbattis and the like.

This beautifully carved wooden temple is currently going at a 39% discount. We selected this piece because of its minimal yet beautiful look. The only hitch is that because of India’s climate, it is high maintenance – you will have to ensure that it is cleaned daily of dust particles.
Mango trees and its wood is considered auspicious in India, and that is the wood this temple is made out of. There is ample space for you to arrange pictures and idols of different deities.

Marble remains one of the most popular choice of material for temple construction – from small temples for private residences to gigantic ones. The huge Prem Mandir in Vrindavan, opened only four years back is made almost entirely of Italian marble. Indians love marble, and this list of beautiful temples would have been incomplete without a marble piece on our list.
This Puja Ghar is made of composite marble and studded with Swarovskis and three gold plated domes. Not surprisingly then, it is the most expensive temple on this list.
Its price is Rs.20,000 but Pepperfry is offering a Diwali discount of 20% and a bit more.
