Floral Meenakari Chowki

A gold-foil embossed frame filled with multicolour enamel floral and mandala work, over a printed decorative panel. Raised on short feet so an idol, kalash or diya sits clear of the cloth beneath. Six sizes, from a 6 inch platform for a single laddu gopal up to a 12 x 15 inch rectangular chowki wide enough for two deities.

Good for

• Placing murtis and the kalash during pooja
• Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali and Navratri
• Satyanarayan katha and havan
• A low side table or display stand after the festival

Sizes

• 6 x 4 inch — the smallest, with a single kalash-and-swastik medallion. For one small idol, a laddu gopal or a single diya.
• 8 x 4 inch — three mandala roundels across a soft floral ground. Room for an idol with a diya beside it.
• 11 x 6 inch — three mandalas with a wide enamel petal border. Wide enough for a deity with kalash and aarti thali together.
• 10 x 10 inch — jewel-like and light enough to move around the house. The square size for a small idol, a single diya or a kalash.
• 12 x 12 inch — the most versatile: roomy enough for a medium idol with a diya and small thali alongside, yet still easy to lift.
• 10 x 15 inch rectangular — the largest and most ornate. A central kalash mandala flanked by auspicious swastik roundels. Wide enough for two idols side by side, or one deity with kalash, diya and thali.

Key features

• Meenakari-style multicolour enamel floral and mandala work
• Gold-foil embossed frame with fine bead and petal detailing
• Printed decorative panel, raised on short feet
• Light to lift and easy to wipe down after pooja
• A natural centrepiece for Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Diwali Lakshmi pooja and weddings
• Hand-finished, so small variations in the enamel colours and beadwork are natural
