Mandir Gumbad – Marble Like FRP Temple Dome

At Rana Handicrafts International, we take immense pride in being one of the foremost manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters of fiberglass (FRP) Hindu Temple Domes, popularly known as FRP Temple Gumbads or FRP Shikhar Domes. Our domes are appreciated for their superior quality, durability, fine craftsmanship, thoughtful symbolism, and competitive pricing. Whether installed in India or abroad, our temple domes uphold the cultural and spiritual integrity of Hindu architecture.

About Temple Dome Design & Significance
Our temple domes follow the conical shikhara style, which is prominent in Hindu temple architecture. The pointed shape is not just an architectural feature—it carries profound symbolism. The tapered structure represents the human soul’s ascent towards the divine, establishing a sacred connection between the earthly plane and spiritual realms. Every layer, every curve, and every detail is crafted to echo spiritual harmony, reverence, and timeless tradition.

Dome Construction & Engineering Excellence
The project showcased here is a multi-layered fiberglass temple dome, specially crafted for a temple based in New York, USA. The dome’s dimensions are 8ft (Front) x 8ft (Depth) x 13ft (Height). It is manufactured in sections for ease of assembly and safe transport. The base structure consists of a heavy-duty MS (Mild Steel) frame, carefully engineered to support the conical FRP top. This reinforced steel framework ensures the dome can endure harsh weather conditions, whether installed in the scorching heat of India or the snowy winters of New York.

Customisation & Sacred Considerations
One of the strengths of our domes lies in customisation. The dome can be painted in any colour based on the preferences of the temple committee, trustees, or spiritual leaders (Pandit Ji). We maintain full religious sanctity during the manufacturing process. Our team takes great care to ensure the design, handling, and installation follow traditional guidelines, showing utmost respect for Hindu beliefs and practices. Every dome is crafted in a sacred and positive environment, making sure that the faith and sentiments of our Hindu brothers and sisters are always honored.

Packaging & Dispatch for Export
The pictures on this page capture the entire lifecycle of this temple dome – from its initial construction and shaping, through the layering and reinforcement, to its final packaging and container loading for international shipment. The dome was meticulously packed using wooden crates and protective layers to avoid damage during long-distance shipping. The final consignment was then loaded onto a 40ft container and dispatched from our workshop in Punjab to its final destination—a temple in New York, USA.

Stunning Views of the Multi-Layered Mandir Shikhar Crafted for a Temple in New York

This majestic multi-layered FRP (fiberglass) Mandir Shikhar stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. Designed and manufactured by Rana Handicrafts International, this beautifully sculpted temple dome is tailored to suit the architectural and spiritual aesthetics of Hindu temples abroad.

Seen standing beside the Shikhar is Uday Veer Singh Rana, Proprietor of Rana Handicrafts International, showcasing the scale and grandeur of the dome before its final packaging and dispatch to New York, USA.

The dome measures 8 feet x 8 feet at the base with a height of 13 feet, and is reinforced with an insulated mild steel (MS) frame structure, engineered specifically to endure the harsh weather conditions of New York—from snow to storms.

The client in New York has expressed immense satisfaction with both the design excellence and build quality, which adds to our growing legacy of delivering divine architectural elements across the globe.

Take a closer look at the precision engineering and structural integrity of the MS (Mild Steel) Frame Structure crafted for the base of this Temple Dome. The base frame has been expertly fabricated with cross-braced reinforcements to ensure maximum strength and long-term durability. Each joint is professionally welded to support the heavy fiberglass (FRP) dome structure above.

Now observe the framing on the conical upper section of the dome. This part is meticulously designed using curved MS ribs that not only follow the exact geometry of the dome but also provide symmetrical load distribution. These ribs are securely anchored to a central spine, ensuring the upper dome remains stable and weather-resistant when mounted.

Together, these two components—the base and the conical top—form a robust and weather-resilient structure that can withstand harsh outdoor conditions, making it suitable for temples in India and abroad.

Observe the meticulous surface preparation of the Mandir Shikhar (Temple Dome) as it undergoes the priming process using a premium-quality German-grade primer. This high-performance primer is specifically formulated to provide excellent adhesion, seal micro pores, and offer a smooth base for the final paint application. The primer coat is evenly sprayed across the entire fiberglass (FRP) surface, including the intricate carvings and contours, ensuring uniform coverage and long-term durability.

Once the primer is applied, the dome is allowed to dry naturally under direct sunlight. This step is critical, as proper curing enhances the bonding strength and overall weather resistance of the surface — especially important for structures destined for harsh climates. Only after this essential drying phase will the finishing coat of high-grade ivory-coloured weatherproof paint be applied, giving the dome its final majestic look while protecting it from moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations.

Take a close look at the impeccable ivory-coloured paint finish applied to this intricately designed Mandir Shikhar (Temple Dome). The entire FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) structure has been carefully coated with high-grade, weather-resistant paint that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides robust protection against environmental factors such as UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The paint is precision-applied in multiple layers to ensure uniformity, depth, and long-term durability. After application, the dome is left to cure naturally under the sun, allowing the paint to settle perfectly onto the primed surface, forming a tough and elegant marble-like finish.

Standing proudly next to this magnificent dome is Uday Veer Singh Rana, Proprietor of Rana Handicrafts International, showcasing the scale and craftsmanship of the structure.
