Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Sindoor" shade refer to in this mat?
It refers to the deep red-orange tone of the printed cover, similar to sindoor, a colour traditionally seen as auspicious for pooja and ritual spaces.
2. Does the mat have padding on both sides, or just one?
The cushioning sits inside, between the printed mandala cover and the woven grass base, so you get padding regardless of which side faces up.
3. Can I use either side of the mat for pooja?
Yes. One side shows the printed mandala design, the other shows the natural woven grass with a striped border, so you can choose whichever suits the setting.
4. Is the tufted quilting on the mat prone to loosening over time?
The tufted corners are stitched to hold the padding in place, but like most quilted textiles, it's best to avoid rough handling or repeated harsh washing.
5. Is this mat suitable for gifting during festivals?
Yes. Mats in auspicious colours like sindoor are a common festive or housewarming gift, especially for someone setting up a new pooja corner.
