Temple Services
We take immense pride and pleasure in providing our services to Temples.
Temple Construction & Renovation
We take lot of pride in the services we provide to Temples, for construction & renovation. Additionally, we also build & restore "Kodimaram" (Flag Staff). Mystique has its own manufacturing unit in Kerala which manufactures & supplies Brass oil lamps, Idols, other pooja items associated to temples, Nettipattom (Caparison), Muthukuda (Decorative Umbrella), Alavattom (Peacock Feather Fan), Venchamaram (White Tufts), etc. Our foremost objective is to provide end to end services for all temple related things.
Replace Old Brass ware for New Ones
It is a tradition that after a certain time the Brass ware i.e. (Oil Lamp, Pooja Items, etc) used for worship purpose need to be replaced. It becomes extremely difficult to find the right dealer who would give the exact price for your precise possession. We at Mystique understand value of such things. Thus, we replace old brass ware i.e. (Oil Lamp, Pooja Items, etc) in exchange for new ones.
Temple & Human Body
Hindu Agama Shastras compare a Temple to the human body. Just as an individual soul is enveloped by five košas or sheaths - (Annamova, Prãnamaya, Manomaya, Vynãnamaya and Anandamaya) - the Deity installed in the Temple (representing the Supreme Spirit) is also enveloped by five prãkaras
Just as our gross body has five sections - head, neck, chest, legs and feet - a Temple also has five corresponding sections. The Garbhagriham or sanctum Santorum represents the head; the Sanctum is the Soul or the Jiva of the body; the Vimana over the Sanctum represents the tip of the nose. Ardhamandap in front of the Sanctum represents the neck; Mahã Mandapam, the chest; Prakaras around the Sanctum represents our five senses: the palibida where nivedana is offered to the deity represents the naval; the kodimaram represents the jeevadhara; and the Gopura, the main gateway of the temple, represents the feet.
The main parts of a temple are:
1. Garbhagraha (Sanctum Sanctorum) containing the image of God.
2. The Vimana over the Sanctum.
3. Ardhamandap in front of the Sanctum.
4. Prakaras around the Sanctum.
5. The Gopura, the main gateway of the temple.
Indian temple is only a reflection of the physical form of the human body. According to the Tirumular "our body is a temple". According to the Kathopanishad "This body of ours is a temple of the Divine."
