The right stone for the pooja room design is important in many aspects, including auspiciousness and practicality. Marble is a great choice for this because it looks elegant and expensive, and exudes positive vibes. It brings purity to the room, which makes it a favourite for many pooja rooms in India. Marble is also a strong stone, meaning it will last a long time, even with daily prayers taking place, and agarbattis being lit up on the surface.

But this is expensive and not the most affordable option, especially for those houses with larger or multiple pooja rooms.

In that sense, another good option is granite. Granite is a strong stone that is easy to clean and gives the pooja room a humble, grounded feel. Darker shades of granite, like black or dark grey, can provide a modern look, while a lighter granite colour for the pooja room makes the room feel bigger and brighter. Granite, despite the colour, is easy to clean and, therefore practical.

No matter which stone you choose, be sure that it complements the pooja room colour to create a balanced environment that is suitable for prayers and worship.
