This ancient technique has adorned temples, palaces, and sacred objects for centuries, adding a touch of opulence and spirituality to every surface it graces. From majestic kalashes to intricate mukuts, Goldleafing transforms everyday objects into symbols of divine splendor.

Gold, Silver, and Copper Leafing For Temples:

  1. Gold, Silver, and Copper Leaf Gilding Kalash:

  2. Gold Leafing Hangi and Chatra:
    Hangis and chatras, traditional Indian canopies and umbrellas, are elevated to regal heights with the application of gold leafing. These majestic structures exude grandeur and prestige, creating a mesmerizing aura around sacred spaces and processions.
  3. Gold Leafing Puja Altars:
    Puja altars serve as focal points for worship and devotion. When embellished with Real 24K gold leafing, these altars become sanctuaries of divine presence, inviting devotees into a realm of spiritual reverence and tranquility.

    Temple doors and windows, the thresholds between the mundane and the sacred, are adorned with gold and silver leafing to signify the transcendence of worldly barriers. As devotees pass through these gilded portals, they enter into a realm of spiritual purity and enlightenment.
  6. Gold Leafing Charanpaduka and Mukharpin:
