About

Designed for a private residence in Gangarampur, this 120 sq.ft. home temple was conceived as a luxurious, contemplative space for daily worship.

The sanctum is built around a black stone Shivling set against a full-height backlit blue onyx panel, beside an arched niche with a golden Om mandala and a Radha-Krishna idol. Above it, a backlit roundel carries the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.

Italian travertine lines the walls and floor, and a coffered wooden ceiling adds warmth overhead. The entrance is marked by a scalloped arch around a pointed timber door with lotus cut-outs, coloured inserts and brass bells, finished in ICA polyester coating, so arriving at the temple becomes a small ritual of its own.

The Sanctum

A full-height backlit blue onyx panel forms the spiritual focus of the temple, rising behind a black stone Shivling. Beside it, an arched niche with a golden Om mandala holds the Radha-Krishna idol on a floating white console, crowned by a backlit roundel inscribed with the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.

A Temple Door with Lotus & Bells

The entrance is framed by a scalloped arch carved into the travertine wall, around a pointed timber door. Each leaf is a grid of panels with lotus and circular cut-outs, coloured inserts and hanging brass bells, so the door glows and chimes as it opens. The timber is finished in ICA polyester coating for a rich, durable surface.

Travertine & Timber

Italian travertine lines the walls and floor in warm, layered tones, while a coffered wooden ceiling with recessed downlights brings warmth overhead. The restrained palette keeps attention on the onyx, the idols and the light.
