How to Set Up a Minimalist Home Mandir

Living in a small apartment or a rental home doesn’t mean you cannot keep a dedicated sacred space. Follow these simple steps:

Set up your altar on the North-East corner of your apartment, so that you face North or East while praying.

Do not crowd the altar. One main representation of divinity (either a painting, picture, or small metal idol) is sufficient.

Floating shelves are excellent for tiny rooms and keep the altar raised off the ground.
