Pocket Temple Guide: Which Deity to Choose and How to Use It
by TOHFA · 9 Oct 2026
A pocket temple is a small, foldable frame with a deity image inside, which opens like a book and stands on its own. It is made for people who want their deity close, at home or on the move. It is one of the most popular small gifts we sell, and it is easy to see why.
Which deity to choose
Ganesha is the most common choice, whether the 3D Ganesha, the Lalbaugh Ganesha or the Siddhivinayak Ganesha. Lakshmi Ganesha suits business and finance. Hanuman is chosen for strength. Shiv is favoured by Shiva devotees, and Radhe Krishna and Bal Gopal are popular with Krishna devotees. There are also Ambe Ma, Saraswati, Ram Darbaar and, for other communities, Wahe Guru and others.
Where to keep it
On the desk, at the bedside, in a bag, on the car dashboard if it is secure, or on a shelf. When not in use, close it and keep it somewhere clean.
Sizes
The 4.5 inch version suits a bag and a desk. A larger 8 inch version is more suited to a shelf or a small altar, and has more presence.
Using it while travelling
Open it on a clean surface when you pray, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and keep it in a clean pouch within your bag.
As a gift
A pocket temple is a good gift for someone who travels, a student leaving home, a person moving abroad within India, or a new driver. It is light, so shipping is easy.
Respect
Treat it as you would any image of the deity, keeping it clean and away from the floor and from food.
