According to the Tamil Manaiyadi shastram (Vastu Sastra), the room size has an impact on the people residing in the house. It is applicable to each and every room in the house. Therefore care should be taken while fixing the length and breadth of every single room because this might adversely affect the person who is living in that room. The good and bad effects of fixing a particular dimension for rooms in the house are given below in a table.

7 feetThe occupant will have to face heavy monetary losses

Many temples have large idols, but in a house, it’s best that the size of the idol does not exceed three inches.

The estimated cost of a modern wooden pooja cabinet is Rs1500 per square feet. 

what's the best material for a pooja cabinet?

Atypical of Hindu shrines, the wooden altar is unique and the most common material for pooja rooms. In essence, the use of wood in prayer rooms or corners seem to reflect on staying grounded in spirituality and lends an elegance.

There is no doubt about the fact that marble is the go-to material for prayer rooms if you have the right kind of space and budget, given that it is a relatively expensive material. Extensively used in Jain and Christian households, marble adds unmatched grace to this corner. Go for a complete marble look complete with marble flooring, walls and wall-mounted shelves to create the perfect altar!

Granite is a very easy to maintain and can be re-polished to get the shine back. It is durable and you will not need to worry about your pooja room once you build it in granite!
