10: Wooden Console Puja Altar
You do not need a massive dedicated room for your festive prayers. You can convert a simple wooden hallway console into a stunning altar. This creates a focused, respectful spiritual hub right in your living space.

- A wooden console table
- A red or yellow silk cloth
- Brass Lakshmi and Ganesha idols
