A slab of translucent onyx forms the back of this recessed niche, and a concealed LED wash makes the stone glow amber behind the deity for a striking evening shrine. The brass idol platform lifts the murti against the luminous panel. It suits luxury apartments and villas where the pooja niche doubles as a design feature in a living or foyer wall. Set the niche on a north-east wall with the idol facing east, keep the diya on the brass platform clear of the onyx since heat can craze stone, and provide a discreet vent so incense smoke clears the enclosed recess. You can switch finishes to compare looks before deciding.
