A Chowki (also spelled Chaukki) is a traditional, low platform or small raised seat, commonly used in various South Asian cultures, particularly in India. The term “chowki” is derived from the Hindi word “chauk”, which means square or four-sided, referring to its shape. Chowkis have a significant cultural, spiritual, and functional role in homes and religious spaces.
Shape & Structure: Chowkis are typically square or rectangular in shape. They are often made of wood, metal, or stone, and may have four sturdy legs or can be set directly on the floor.
Size: They vary in size but are generally small enough to be used as a platform for seating or placing religious items, deities, offerings, or even for rituals.
Decor: Chowkis are frequently decorated, with intricate carvings, paintings, or traditional motifs, making them aesthetically appealing.
Puja (Worship): Chowkis are often used in Hindu households and temples for conducting prayers, rituals, and worship. Deities or sacred items such as idols, lamps, and offerings are placed on the chowki during religious ceremonies.
