it with a mild soap using a soft cloth. Since marble is used here, it will be very  
easy to damage the shine by using too strong a chemical. This cleaning of the  
temple is, in a way, its purification in view of the coming festival season.

garlands of marigold, roses, or jasmine can be hanged around the marble  
temple. You can throw petals of flowers on the base of the temple or you can  
create some artistic pattern in front of the marble god idols. As flowers
represent purity and devotion, it gives a fresh and fragrant touch to your  
pooja area.

The soft glowing light of the diyas will enlighten the temple, lending it a  
serene and divine atmosphere.

Torans or beautiful garlands made of beads, leaves, or flowers can be hanged  
at the entrance of the temple. They give a beautiful look and change the aura;  
therefore, it is supposed to invite positivity in the house. You can also draw a  
beautiful rangoli design with colored powders or jari of flowers in front of the  
temple. For decoration purpose, these accessories give a marvelous look and  
an appealing atmosphere to your marble temple.

You can dress up marble god idols in new clothes, ornaments, and flowers.  
Idols are again dressed in traditional attire. Give them a royal look by adding  
crowns or garlands. The idol can also be anointed with sandalwood paste and  
kumkum for that godly touch. It is this wee act of dressing up the idols that  
adds to the religious value of your Diwali prayers.
Step 6: Drape Fairy Lights or String Lights
A touch of modernity to create a suave pooja temple would be attained by  
wrapping the marble pooja temple with either fairy lights or string lights.

festive glow to your temple, thus making the place inviting enough for  
worship.
