Decorative lighting for temple and heritage roads
What these roads need
- Pedestrian comfort. Wide, even, low-glare light. Faces should be readable.
- Procession clearance. Palkhis, chariots and decorated floats can be tall. Keep arms short and heights above clearance, or place poles at the edges.
- Festival loads. Banners and decorations add wind load. Ask the supplier for a design that includes them, or provide clamp points.
- Crowd safety. Keep cable doors locked and bases bolted. Round the corners on base covers.
- Visual fit. Dark green, black or antique bronze sits quietly beside stone.

Questions people ask
Which motif is safe for a temple road?
Use a motif the temple trust and community accept. Neutral lantern or lotus forms avoid disputes.
Do I need permission near a protected monument?
Yes. The law sets prohibited and regulated areas around protected monuments, so ask the ASI or the state archaeology department.
