Giftkidukan Om and Ganesha Gold Mirror Wall Cutout for Your Home
Khilauna Team · · 4 min read
When you set up a small prayer corner at home, there is usually one empty wall right behind the idols. You want something devotional there. But heavy brass frames need drilling, and paper posters curl up over time from the heat of the diyas. And if you live in a rented flat, the landlord may not allow nails at all.
The Giftkidukan Om and Ganesha wall cutout is a simple fix. It is from our Acrylic Plastic Stickers collection and gives you the shine of metal and mirror without the weight of a frame.
The design
At first you see the Om in the middle. Look again and you see how its outer lines form Lord Ganesha. The top curve rises like a crown, and the bottom line curls into his trunk. A small round bindu sits just above the Om.
The lines are smooth and open, so your wall colour shows through the gaps. It doesn't look like a blocky sticker. It looks like a cutout made for your wall.
The gold mirror finish
The surface is a shiny gold mirror. Near a warm ceiling light or behind brass diyas, it catches the yellow light and glows.
When you open the packet, the front will look dull and white. That is normal. A white protective film covers the front so it doesn't get scratched in the box. Once the piece is on the wall, peel the film off with your fingers and the gold mirror shows underneath.
Where to put it
It is light and flat, so you can use it in places where a bulky frame would get in the way.
- Behind the pooja idols: put it in the middle of the wall above your Ganesha or Lakshmi idol. With diyas lit on both sides, the gold goes well with brass lamps, bells and the flower plate.
- Inside a small mandir cabinet: many city flats have a wooden pooja shelf in a corner of the living room or kitchen. The cutout sits flat on the back panel and takes no shelf space from your prayer books or incense stand.
- At the main entrance: many families like a Ganesha or Om right where you walk in. On the entrance wall it gives guests a warm, traditional welcome.
- Near a child's study table: some parents like a small devotional symbol there for a calm start to the day.
How to put it up
Putting up Acrylic Plastic Stickers takes only a few minutes. A little care keeps it straight.
- Wipe the wall with a dry cloth first so there is no dust or oil.
- Hold the cutout against the wall to check the height before you fix it. If it goes behind an idol, make sure the idol doesn't hide the trunk at the bottom.
- Leave the white film on while you press it onto the wall. That keeps fingerprints off the mirror.
- Don't forget the small round bindu. Fix the main piece first, then place the bindu just above the curve of the Om.
- When everything is firmly in place, peel the white film off slowly, starting from one corner.
Who would love it as a gift
It is hard to choose a gift when you don't know how much space someone has at home. This cutout is easy to wrap, light to carry and suits many occasions.
- Griha Pravesh: everyone moving into a new home needs something for the pooja room or entrance. It stands out well on plain light-coloured walls, so it suits most freshly painted flats.
- Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi: families clean and decorate their prayer corners before big festivals. Give it a few days early so they can use it for the puja.
- Wedding return gifts, or for elders: when you visit an aunt, uncle or grandparent, something devotional for their home is always welcome.
