The Dagdusheth

Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati is a Ganesha temple in Pune, built in 1893 by a sweets merchant after he lost his son. The name sits here for the three domes and their kalash finials.

Three domes across the top, each finished with a kalash. The busiest roofline in the Family size.

The craft

Eight to ten weeks at the bench.

Three domes means three sets of ribs and three finials, cut one at a time and set on the same line. They are drawn from the workshop's template for this piece, so the three match.

In your home

Six feet tall, and the roofline is the widest part.

122 cm of wall and 51 cm of depth. The domes sit at the top of the 183 cm, so the thing to check is the ceiling directly above the wall, not the wall itself.

A mandir belongs in the north-east corner of the home — the ishan kon. Where that corner is not free, an east or north wall does. You face east to pray, so the murti faces back west.

This is the same for every piece we make, so it is said once here rather than on each one.
