That is a comfortable focal size for a home mandir, a pooja shelf, or a mandir wall in an apartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eCan I hang it on the wall or does it only stand?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBoth. The frame is made to hang on a wall hook and also to stand on a flat shelf, so you can move it between your mandir wall and your pooja setup as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eIs the front glass?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNo. It is a clear shatterproof sheet rather than glass. It protects the print just as clearly, keeps the frame light, and will not shatter, which matters both in transit and in a home with children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eWhat do the eighteen steps represent?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe pathinettam padi are the eighteen holy steps that lead to the sanctum at Sabarimala. Only a devotee carrying the irumudi after completing the vratam may climb them, and each step is understood to represent something the pilgrim leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eWhen is the Sabarimala season?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe main season runs through Mandala Pooja and Makaravilakku in the Malayalam months of Vrischikam and Makaram, roughly mid-November to mid-January. Saturdays are also traditionally observed for Ayyappa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eDoes it make a good gift?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. It is a meaningful gift for a devotee beginning the vratam, and for housewarmings and Grah Pravesh in Malayali homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdd Divine to your Rituals.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Divinesansar","offers":[{"title":"A4 - 21 x 30 cm Wooden Frame","offer_id":52883766706488,"sku":"AYPF-A4","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/3588\/8184\/files\/ayyappa-photo-frame-a4-divine-sansar-01.jpg?v=1788195923","url":"https:\/\/divinesansar.com\/products\/ayyappa-photo-frame","provider":"Divine Sansar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
