The practice of raising idols on high platforms has its roots in ancient Vedic times, when elevation and sanctity represented spiritual respect. Early altars, stools, or asana peethas were utilized to elevate idols above the ground as a sign of reverence and purity, as confirmed by the temple design and scriptures. The mukkali stool (three-legged) design, which was traditionally made of wood or metal, offered balance and symbolism, symbolizing creation, preservation, and destruction.

♦ In South India, especially in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where brass pooja stand are usually inherited from generation to generation, this idol stand is highly valued. A mukkali stool is a common sight in every prayer room and in temple ceremonies and home altars.

♦ Uses & Applications:

Deities are placed on this puja stand throughout regular ceremonies, special homams, and festival festivities. It establishes a holy and serene atmosphere for devotional concentration, making it perfect for idols of Lakshmi, Ganesha, Murugan, and other domestic gods. It is also ideal for setting up decorative altars during Deepavali, Vinayaka Chaturthi, and Navaratri.

♦ Tips for Storage and Preservation:

After usage, this brass stand should be cleaned with a dry or somewhat moist towel to keep its sheen. Tamarind paste (a traditional method) or brass polish can help maintain the shine. Keep in a dry place to avoid oxidation and moisture buildup.

♦ The idol stand is frequently used for deities like Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Lord Ganesha, and it's important during Ayudha Pooja, Navaratri Golu, and Varalakshmi Vratham. It is also utilized during housewarming and Upanayanam rituals.

♦ Hindu scriptures describe a number of temple ceremonies in which gods were put atop high asana peethas to represent their celestial standing. It is thought that raising the idol through such sacred pooja stands aids in attracting spiritual energy and maintaining its isolation from terrestrial vibrations.
