Puja And Decoration Stores In Mumbai To Get Your Home Ready

For locals in the area, stores like Alfa are the go-to for decor for their at-home shrines. Irla tends to mould itself to suit whichever festivals are coming up, and there's a good chance you'll be able to score floral garlands, papier mache modaks, patkas and pooja mats here. Please note that most of these are stalls outside established stores!

Stores to visit: Aishwarya Art Gallery, Fabiani's Art Gallery, Trendy Taste

Lokhandwala is quite similar to Irla, albeit on a longer street, and a touch more bougie. Several stores in the area will sort you out for lighting fixtures, seasonal decor, and even idols. Finish off shopping for your outfits and jewellery as well while you're here!

Stores to Visit: Shiv Rudraksh Anusandhan Kendra, Karishma Art Gallery, SK GIFTTS

Of course, Central Mumbai comes alive during any festival, and Kirtikar Market is no exception. A long-time favourite for everyone who knows the area well, this market is bustling with beautiful brassware and general pooja samagri all year round. Still, the colours, decor and shiny things appear around festivals like Diwali and Navratri. This includes stores on the neighbouring NC Kelkar Road as well.

Stores to Visit: Milan Pooja Bhandar, Rawal Bhandi Stores, the countless stalls on Kelkar Road!

Alright, we know Crawford is the no-brainer addition to this list, but we're sure we can help you decide which stores to visit for festive decor. There are separate options for artificial flowers, thermocol/papier-mache temples, decorative latkans, and lights.

Stores to Visit: Dolly Agency, PARTY SHOP (Above Badshah Cold Drink House), Crystal Corporation, City Light, K3 Decoration and every store on Kitchen Garden Lane!

The sheer concentration of shops in these two areas makes it worth the visit. You have stores selling truly elaborate decor at wholesale prices, and it's no surprise these areas are crowded year-round. Natraj Market is easier to shop at, since many stores offer everything you need for an at-home celebration. Still, Mamledar Wadi has sellers you can shop from at wholesale rates!

Stores to Visit:

At Mamledar Wadi: Shakti Traders, Siddhi Impex, Satra Traders

At Natraj Market: Kanji Premji, Dinkle Arts, Celebration Studio

If there's one market in Mumbai where it feels like every day is a festival, it's Bhuleshwar. The lanes have shops with everything you can think of —flower garlands, brass pooja thalis, agarbattis, diyas, colourful torans, and much more — that make your home look instantly festive. You'll also spot small vendors with stalls selling kumkum, coconuts, betel leaves, and other pooja essentials. And when it's time for Diwali or Navratri, you'll even find more variety of fairy lights, rangoli powders, and idols. Go here with some patience.

Stores to Visit:

At Panjrapole Road: Varun Metal, Mukhra Chawl & Shanti Threads, Bhoiwada Ln

At Kabutarkhana: Reva Creation, shop no. 134

Masjid Bunder is the city's wholesale area for all things festive. There are shops selling everything in bulk, from garlands and lamps to diyas and backdrop fabrics. We even spotted larger-than-life decor items that you usually see at community pandals. You can also find seasonal decor like Christmas balls around December, lanterns around Diwali, and so on. This market is great for families who want to stock up and get ready for the upcoming festive season.

Stores to Visit: Laxmi Pooja Bhandar, Reliable Agency

While these markets offer the most variety and the best prices for Pujo and Navratri decor, this list is not exhaustive. We urge you to visit markets around your closest railway station to take a look at local stalls and pandal decorators if you're not in the mood to travel!
