The Vaishno
Vaishno Devi is a cave shrine in the Trikuta hills of Jammu. The name is on this one because it is the only piece in the set that closes.
The only piece in the range with doors. Closed it is a carved cabinet; open it is a shrine.

Pieces leave Ahmedabad by sea on a sailing we book for you. We send photographs at four points: when the order is confirmed, when carving starts, when it is finished, and when it is on the ship.
Eight to ten weeks at the bench.
The doors are the difference. Each leaf is cut from solid board, and the pair is fitted so the closed front reads as one face rather than two.
Waist-high, and it shuts.
76 cm of wall and 38 cm of depth, the same as the other Compact pieces — but leave room for the doors to swing. It is the piece to choose where the shrine is not left open: a rented room, a shared flat, a study that doubles as something else.
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.
