An open marble mandapa, this temple raises four carved pillars and a dome over a marble plinth so the deity is visible from every side, recalling the sanctum of a stone temple. The raised plinth and open form suit a generous prayer room or villa hall. It suits large homes where the temple is meant to be a true architectural feature. Centre it toward the north-east with the idol facing east, leave space for circumambulation, seal the marble against oil stains, and the open mandapa lets incense and camphor smoke disperse freely. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
