"How are my Mandir/Gurudwara items and my God/Goddess pictures and idols are protected during shifting?"
Whenever our team of packers is packing your Mandir or God/Goddess idols, special care is taken throughout. Hands are washed before packing and a “Mandir Sticker” is pasted on the carton. Mandir items are dealt supremely at the time packing and moving and get loaded in the last. Similarly, while unpacking, this is the first carton that is opened up. The packer will wash hands, take off his shoes, ash the area where Mandir is to be installed and after getting assured of maintaining the level of sanctity, idols are then all placed in Mandir with great reverence.
