💰 Typical Charge Range (Low Budget)
For a modest pooja room (small wall-niche / unit) under “low budget” constraints, you can expect:
- ₹20,000 to ₹60,000 — material + labor + basic lighting & finish
- For carpenter / designer involvement only (design, layout, supervision) — lower portion of that total
- If full custom woodwork, carving, stone, etc., it will exceed this range significantly
If you give me your pooja unit dimensions, city / locality, and desired materials / finish (laminate / plywood / veneer / wood), I can propose a more precise low-budget charge estimate for your case.
