Find a piece

We are new, and every mandir we make is made one at a time.

That is the reason it takes 30 to 45 days to reach you, and I would rather say so on this page than let you find out at the end. Nothing here is sitting in a warehouse waiting to be picked. When you order, we start.

What happens in those weeks is not us being slow. The teak is chosen board by board and left to settle, because wood that goes straight from the yard to the saw moves later and a slider that binds is a mandir nobody opens. The jaali is machined and then every inside corner is cleaned up by hand. The lighting channels are routed through the body before it is closed, which is the only reason you will never see a wire. Then the finish goes on in thin coats and it is left alone to harden, and that last part takes longer than anyone expects.

I am not going to pretend we are bigger than we are. We are a small studio, this is the first year, and some things will not be as polished as they will be in three years. What I can promise is that I know which piece is being built at any given moment, and nothing leaves here that I would not put on my own wall.

If the wait works for you, message us and we will start. If it does not, tell me the date you need it by and I will tell you honestly whether we can make it.
