[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9843175, member: 2844"]If it is a home mandir, it would have had one or more statues of divinities, and an oil lamp, censer, and other items that are used in veneration and ritual. Anything that wasn't used was stored inside the cabinet. Pooja/puja is a purification ritual, to show respect to a divinity. There are many Hindus in S Africa, so it could have been made locally. Would be interesting to know what kind of wood it was made from.[/QUOTE]
