One category, three practical formats.
The right format depends on available space, daily rituals, storage needs, ventilation and how prominently the pooja area should sit within the home.

02 · Enclosed
Dedicated pooja room
Full-height enclosure with doors or screens, internal shrine composition, storage, lighting, threshold and ventilation coordination.
03 · Statement
Custom architectural room
Site-specific compositions using stone, timber, brass, patterned screens, ceiling details and specialist craftsmanship.
Direction and placement, the traditional way.
Vastu guidance varies by region and household tradition, but a few principles come up in almost every consultation. AlcorOne's design team checks these against your actual floor plan alongside your family's own preferences.
Direction
The northeast (Ishanya) corner is the most commonly preferred location for a pooja room; where that isn't available, a north- or east-facing wall is the usual fallback. Most guidance recommends facing east or north while praying, with the deity typically placed against the west or east wall.
What to avoid
A pooja room directly above, below or adjacent to a bathroom, staircase or bedroom is generally avoided, as is placement under a staircase or a structural beam. These constraints are checked against your floor plan during the scope review, not assumed from a template.
Materials and threshold
Timber (teak, sheesham) and light natural stone are traditional choices for shrine platforms and flooring; a raised threshold and a door or screen that can close off the space are common requests. Lighting is usually kept warm and layered rather than a single bright source.
Executed across different homes and markets.
These completed and proposed spaces show how the same category adapts to apartment constraints, villa scale and different material languages.

What the scope can include.
AlcorOne can execute the pooja space as part of a larger home interior or as a defined standalone scope where site conditions allow.
Layout and detailing
Measured site review, proportions, storage planning, deity platform, working details and material junctions.
Materials and fabrication
Timber or laminate joinery, stone, metal accents, screens, doors, hardware and specialist components.
Services and finish
Lighting, electrical points, ventilation coordination, cleanable surfaces, installation and final snag closure.
Start with the space, not a catalogue.
Share enough information for AlcorOne to recommend the right format before materials and ornamentation are selected.
Share context
Send room or wall photographs, approximate dimensions, city, floor plan and examples of styles you respond to.
Define requirements
Confirm daily use, deity arrangement, storage, seating, door preference, ventilation and any traditional requirements.
Develop scope
AlcorOne aligns the concept with buildable details, material options, inclusions, exclusions and site dependencies.
Fabricate and install
Approved components are produced, coordinated on site, installed, finished and checked at handover.
Available across South India.
Project feasibility depends on city, site readiness and the scope being commissioned. Share the location for a direct fit check.

Questions we hear most.
Can a pooja room be added without a full renovation?
Yes — AlcorOne can execute a pooja room as a standalone scope within an existing home, or as part of a larger interior project.
What information do you need to start?
Room or alcove photographs, approximate dimensions, your city, and any directional or material preferences you already have.
Do you handle lighting and ventilation?
Yes — lighting design, ventilation and finish detailing are part of the standard scope alongside joinery and stone work.
Which cities is this available in?
Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam and Rajamahendravaram, subject to a direct fit check for your site.
How is a pooja room paid for if it is the only work?
Projects start on a 20% deposit of the total contract value, adjusted against the final invoice. The balance is released against milestones tied to progress — material procurement, civil and carpentry completion, finishing and handover — and the exact milestone schedule is written into each project's payment schedule, because it moves with size, scope and site condition. Published rates are exclusive of GST. A single-room scope still runs against an itemised BOQ — carving, lighting and joinery are where the cost sits, and a lump sum hides which of the three you are paying for.
How long does a custom pooja unit take?
It depends on the joinery: a compact apartment unit and a dedicated villa room with carved work are not the same programme. The duration is confirmed in writing at BOQ stage once the design and material are settled.
Can you build the whole home to Vastu, not just the pooja room?
Within a limit worth stating plainly: AlcorOne is a fit-out contractor, not a Vastu consultant. We do not issue Vastu prescriptions or overrule a family's own guidance — we take the directions you or your consultant have already settled and build to them. Inside a finished apartment the decisions that are genuinely still open are the ones worth bringing to us: pooja room placement, where the northeast is the commonly preferred corner and a north or east wall the usual fallback; which wall a bed headboard sits against; hob and sink orientation within the kitchen's existing plumbing and exhaust positions; entrance treatment and shoe storage; and mirror placement. What a fit-out cannot move without structural work is the flat's entrance direction, the position of a toilet or the walls it shares, and window openings — those are decided at purchase, not at fit-out. Bring the directional list to BOQ stage. Introduced after carcass work has started, it becomes a variation with its own cost and timeline impact.
