Not a thing about this kitchen would make me happy and I try so hard to avoid Chineses wood products.

Many thanks for your valuable comments. 1. My intention of raised cabinets was to clean it daily, as cabinets that touch floor accumulate lot of dust and food particles below. If we rule out steel legs, any inputs on raised floor only of cabinet area and then cabinets?(Just like plinth in modular cabinets- but this will be permanent and of tiles) I have not seen such structure anywhere, so curious if it will work. Otherwise I will go with traditional ones. 2. Moving pooja out of kitchen is very difficult as other rooms are just enough for their function. Currently a small Mandir is attached on wall where Fridge is shown in layout. I thought the new area could be little extra for all pooja related things. Will like to know the reason of your recommendation, is it odd in whole design, or not suitable in area .. or anything else? How about moving it to corner of dining area?

One of the kitchen designers is providing bakelite for kitchen cabinets material, I feel it would be good to use this material since the area is prone to termites thus using wood is not beneficial. Can anyone provide me any downsides of this material?

Hi Nehal, I'm guessing you are not planning to change the exisiting tiles and the countertop. I can suggest a combination of Laminates (mica) for the top and lower cabinets, wooden for the top + solid neutral colour for the bottom cabinets. Some images for your reference as attached.
