Choosing a Navkar Mantra frame starts with two questions: how far will you sit from it during jaap, and how much wall is free? This white marble-effect frame comes in six sizes, from a pooja niche to a hall wall.
Navkar Mantra text and meaning
णमो अरिहंताणं
णमो सिद्धाणं
णमो आयरियाणं
णमो उवज्झायाणं
णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं
एसो पंच णमोक्कारो, सव्व पावप्पणासणो।
मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पढमं हवइ मंगलं॥
Namo Arihantanam, Namo Siddhanam, Namo Ayariyanam, Namo Uvajjhayanam, Namo Loe Savva Sahunam. Eso Pancha Namokkaro, Savva Pavappanasano, Mangalanam cha Savvesim, Padhamam Havai Mangalam.
Meaning: I bow to the Arihants, the Siddhas, the Acharyas, the Upadhyayas and all the Sadhus of the world. This fivefold salutation destroys all sins and is the first and foremost of all that is auspicious.
What makes this white marble Navkar Mantra frame different
The base is top-brand HDMR waterproof MDF, finished in epoxy resin with soft white marble veins worked in by hand with pigments, and the Navkar Mahamantra is set in raised 3mm gold-finish acrylic letters you can feel by hand. The scalloped rectangle with a gold-finish border gives it the feel of a carved temple plaque, and white and gold glow softly under a diya.
Where to place a Navkar Mantra frame at home
White stands for purity and a sattvic mind, gold for auspiciousness.
-
Pooja room, east or north-east wall: many Jain families face east or north during jaap. 15×18 or 19×21 inches reads comfortably when seated.
-
Above a home mandir or pooja shelf: 10×15 or 12×15 inches sits neatly above it.
-
Entrance, hall or Jain bhawan: 18×24 or 24×36 inches keeps a large wall calm.
Gifting a Namokar Mantra frame

Navkar Mantra frame: questions families ask
Which wall or direction is good for a Navkar Mantra frame?
Many Jain families choose the east or north-east wall of the pooja room, hung at seated eye level away from the washroom. If you follow vastu closely, check with your own adviser.
Which size Navkar Mantra frame is right for a pooja room?
For a mandir shelf or small niche, 10×15 or 12×15 inches is enough; for an open pooja room wall, 15×18 or 19×21 inches reads more comfortably.
Is the Navkar Mantra available in Hindi, English or Gujarati?
Hindi and English are standard and proofread in-house. Gujarati is available on request after we confirm.
