Decided to try out the colorful gopuram trend on this compact, wall-mounted Mandir. I absolutely love how it turned out and can’t wait to do this again! Harshis Custom Decor

Designed and built a no-tools needed, compact and foldable golu padi for navaratri. This is 4.5 ft tall and 3 ft wide with each step being 10 inches deep. Video is real time, no edits so it literally take 3.5 mins to assemble and even less time to dismantle.

Back in the shop after a month-long vacation. And what better way than to make this beautiful custom Mandir for my high-school bestie? She sent me some inspo pics and dimensions and I was able to deliver her dream Mandir to fit her needs. So glad I got it done before Durga Pujo.

Made from solid maple and maple plywood, this beauty is 76 inches tall, 36 inches wide and 18 inches deep.

Simple yet elegant design custom built for a client that wanted a nice design in the front and a light colored backdrop. Mandir has a large storage drawer, a lovely gopuram and is on lockable casters.

A new lovely Mandir for a lovely family. They wanted a simple design with a cream colored backdrop and a curved design on the front. Mandir is on lockable brass casters for mobility as needed. Simple yet elegant design and the clients are thrilled.
Made out of Red oak and stained a rich mahogany oil stain and accented with antique gold gilding wax.

50 inches tall, 34 inches wide and 18 inches deep.

This one’s a bit different and very special. I took over an incomplete build from someone and completely transformed it into a beautiful piece by adding a lighted OM backdrop and a storage drawer. This turned out better than I had expected specially since I spent only 3-4 days working on it, in between other custom builds.

34 inches high, 32 inches wide and 16 inches deep.

Sometimes I have to take a pause to address some things that I need for my own house. Case in point - we got a new set of washer dryer that sit low to the ground. One option I considered was to build a pedestal to raise them up but read lots of issues with pedestals and the washer instability that made me hit pause. In the meanwhile, I’ve seen all these Pinterest ideas of building a large folding table with storage for the laundry items and I loved it.
So here it is - my version of a laundry folding table with storage customized to our needs. I love the little cubbies to organize various things but my favorite is the little riser I built for the detergent to accommodate the dispenser and cup plus storage for extra cups that seem to collect over time.

I hope now I will be more motivated to do laundry 🙂.

New week new custom Mandir 🙂. This one’s extra special since I had to design and build a Mandir on a very tight budget for a lovely young couple. I tried hard to keep the cost low so as to meet their needs, especially since they requested doors on the Mandir. The end result is so adorable and the clients are so thrilled. This is why I do what I do.
This lovely Mandir is 42 inches high, 24 inches wide and 12 inches deep with double doors, a removable riser and a nice storage drawer.

A gorgeous white Mandir custom-designed for a client features a spacious display area with an LED backdrop. It has a full sized pullout tray for aarti and locking casters at the bottom. But the real pièce de résistance is the gorgeous topper with OM design that gives this Mandir a beautiful traditional yet modern appearance. Another successful collaboration with Harshis Custom Decor.
Made from maple plywood and poplar this beauty is 54 inches high, 36 inches wide and 24 inches deep.

A new kind of challenge - a friend asked me to convert the inside of her basement fireplace cavity into a decorative display area/Mandir for her mom. They did not want a traditional Mandir but rather a very contemporary space. I came up with an arched backdrop with decorative pillars on the side and a raised display platform in the middle with integrated storage. The space was in a high traffic area so I suggested we go with pocket doors. The real challenge was that each of these pocket doors would be huge - 40 inches high and 32 inches wide each. It was pretty challenging since I had to build everything at home and bring it in parts and assemble in place. The doors were a big challenge and took a bit of work but I’m pretty pleased with the final outcome.
