Introduction
In Indian households, puja rituals are incomplete without a dedicated puja asana or mat. Traditionally, mats are woven from kush (darbha) or madurkathi grass, known for their purity and spiritual significance. Choosing the right size, placement, and pattern ensures comfort and devotion during rituals.
Ideal Sizes for Puja Mats
- 20×20 inches → For individual use during daily puja.
24×24 inches → For individual use during daily puja or meditation.
36×72 inches → For sitting cross-legged comfortably during longer rituals.
48×74 inches → Family puja or larger ceremonies.
Placement of Puja Mats
Always place the mat on a clean floor before starting puja.
Position it facing east (sunrise) or north for maximum spiritual benefits.
Use separate mats for idols/deities and for sitting.
Traditional Patterns & Significance
Bhumikart puja mats are handwoven with traditional motifs:
Diamond weave → Symbol of protection.
Floral patterns → Symbol of prosperity and positivity.
Striped borders → Common in festive mats, representing balance.
Why Choose Natural Puja Mats?
Grass mats are considered auspicious in Hindu rituals.
They prevent direct contact with the floor, believed to increase focus and purity.
Unlike synthetic mats, they are eco-friendly and respectful of tradition.
Care Tips for Puja Mats
Dust gently after each use.
Store in a dry place to avoid moisture.
Sun-dry once a month to keep fresh.
