What an aasan set is
An aasan is the cloth you sit on, or set the deity on, during a pooja - the mat that marks the space as the space. A set like this covers both jobs: a long runner for the shelf or chowki the idols stand on, and two square mats for whoever is sitting.
Why this one
Woven brocade rather than printed cotton, which matters on a mat that gets folded and refolded every festival - the pattern is in the cloth, so it will not crack along the crease. Each design is built as a patterned centre inside a contrasting lattice border, so the runner reads as framed rather than as a length of fabric. At 1 kg for three pieces it has enough weight to lie flat on a polished shelf without sliding.
Which design
- Green Lattice - green centre with a red lattice border
- Bandhani - maroon patterned centre with a yellow lattice border
- Elephant Motif - maroon elephants with a red lattice border
All three come as the same three pieces at the same price. The elephant design is the most figurative; Green Lattice is the quietest against a white or pale mandir.
Where it goes
The runner along a mandir shelf, a chowki or a bajot, with the idols standing on it. The two square mats on the floor in front, for whoever is doing the pooja. Also used as an altar cloth at a satyanarayan pooja, under a kalash at a griha pravesh, as a meditation seat, and as a dining runner outside festival season - the runner is the right proportion for a six-seat table.
The other set
We make two aasan sets. This one and the Banarasi brocade set with a wider 54 x 36 runner. Both include two 24 inch square mats; the difference is the runner width and the cloth. Measure the shelf or chowki the runner has to cover before choosing - twelve inches of extra depth is the whole decision.
For a smaller base under a single diya or idol, the 9 inch Patola mats are the set to look at.
Gifting
An aasan set is the gift for a new home with a new mandir in it - griha pravesh, a wedding, or a first Diwali in a house. It needs no sizing and it gets used. Tell us at checkout if you are sending it directly and we will leave the invoice out.
