This beautifully chip-carved Indian panel is known locally as a chowki. It dates to the 19th century and has developed a beautiful patina through years of constant use. Chowkis are used in India by Hindus for placing gods and idols on and for daily prayer. This puja chowki (also spelled pooja chowki) is from Kutch in Western Gujarat.

The carving heavily features a stylised lotus design found across Northern India, especially in Rajasthan & Gujarat. The lotus is a symbol of beauty, prosperity, and fertility in many cultures and religions. It is the national flower of India and has been an auspicious symbol in India since before records began.
