The Dakor

Ranchhodrai at Dakor is a Krishna temple under eight domes; ranchhod means the one who left the battlefield. This one carries the name for its three ribbed domes and its depth.

Three ribbed domes on 152 cm of wall, over a bay 61 cm deep.

The craft

Eight to ten weeks at the bench.

Three domes, each ribbed and cut one at a time, over the deepest bay in the range. The crowns are cut in sections and lined up at the bench.

In your home

Taller than a doorway, and five feet wide.

152 cm of wall, 61 cm of depth and 213 cm of height — taller than a standard doorway, so it arrives in parts and goes together in the room. The depth is the number to check: it stands more than half a metre out from the wall.

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.
