Home Made God Mandap.

 God's Mandap.
 
Steps for Constructing Mandap:

While making the mandap I did not take any photos, so I do not have much of the photos.
On request on have noted some steps below, if any help or doubt please post comments so that I can reply for the same. Thanks.

1. Get the required materials - 
     Aluminum wall beeding, Nuts & bolts, Hard card board, Golden paper, silver paper, bells, thermocol balls, thermocal rectangular cut pieces, Golden glitter powder, golden craft thread, golden color border's(from dollar store), glue, golden glitter glue.
You can find the below Aluminum wall beeding in Home Depot store.
2. Cut the aluminum wall beeding to construct and rectangular box frame of the desired size you wish to make the mandap.I made of the rectangular box  frame of 36W X 28H X 15D (inches). Join the frame using nuts & bolt. From the base about the height of 9 inches (for some space for drawers) make the base for placing the Gods by joining the beedings

3. Cut the card board with the desired design you want for the mandap for the 4sides of the mandap and the gopuram. And also cut the cardboard for making the drawers. Glue the golden paper for the outside of the mandap and silver paper for the inside of the mandap.

4. Glue the finished cardboard to the frame to make the mandap and its gopuram.
5. Glue the thermocol balls & thermocal rectangular cut pieces with the golden glitter glue and spray some golder glitter powder on it to give it nice finish. With the golden paper make the cones to keep them on the thermocol balls. Place the balls on required places as shown in the mandap photo.
6. Use the golden border to place it on the four sides of the gopuram as required.
7. Make the holes on three sides( front, and 2 sides) of the base gopuram each at certain fixed distance. Pull the golden thread within that and place a bell within it before pulling it into next hole.
8. Use the golden thread to make the handles for the drawers. Place the drawers within the base of the mandap, may be use some round marbles below the drawers to give it the smooth flow.
9. Decorate the mandap as desired.
10. You can make a hole withing the gopuram to fix light fixture.

    First of all Thanks Madhu for visitng my blog and liking the Gods Mandap made by me.
    Secondly sorry for delay in reply.
    Sorry to say that I have not taken any photos while making this Gods Mandap. To explain in briefly I have used thick cardboard to make the walls and base of the Mandap and some thin aluminium L shaped wedges to build the core rectangular like structure. For round shapes on top of the Mandap I used thermocol balls and spread golden glitter to color them, on top of them are paper made cones.
    Let me know for more information or email me so that I can explain more.
    Once again thank you for visiting my blog. Keep visiting. Happy blogging.

    I am more them happy in helping you in making this mandap. But I am not sure what to ask for in store for this paper. I searched the store and found this. Try checking in Wall Decor section. And FYI the aluminium beads I brought from Home Depot. The L shape aluminum beads and holes in it.
    Thanks

  14. UnknownFebruary 26, 2013 at 1:10 AM

    it is not self adhesive, it is normal paper roll. Aluminium beads are used to build the basic rectangular frame which is the core of the mandap. I will send the pics of that later. To this frame I have stick the cardboard.
