A
small bench or a wooden table or a cardboard box covering an area no
larger than 36" x 24" and about 15" to 24" tall
is adequate. The size can vary if you wish to arrange more or fewer
pictures and/or statues on the surface. Remember that you should be
able to see the items on the altar and have easy access to make
offerings during the worship.
Place the table (or box) against a
wall, cover it with a clean cloth, preferably white, and secure the
same by tucking it under so that it won't slip off easily. Tape it
if necessary such that the tape is not visible.
Now arrange a picture of the
God/Goddess to be worshipped, preferably at least an 8.5"x
11" size such that it makes about 10 to 15 degrees to the
vertical and leans against the wall. Similarly pictures/statues of
the family Godhead and Guru must also be arranged on the altar.
