The wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling wallpaper of the raas leela helps conjure an emphatic interior. The soft, focused light from above envelops the idols, creating a peaceful ambience.

This puja room is born of much design thought, evident in all the woodwork on the doors, walls and cabinet, the yellow shrine, the small bell suspended in the centre and the open shelves that hold more images and statuettes.
Anil Dube Architect

This open puja space has a light visual impact due to the white walls and the tiny back-lit niches. The marble flooring offers enough area for a family member or two to be seated together. The tall plant offers a sense of tranquility to the setup.
