This blog today hosts over 3500 Q&A on home interiors under different posts. For some of the more popular posts there are over 500 questions underneath and the blogger tool has been found incapable to handle such volume.
We therefore launched a stand alone Q&A module on www.thestudiobangalore.com yesterday that will allow you to post your question and provides a better visual interface to browse through previous answers.

Will welcome your inputs and feedback on this new functionality. The Q&A module is available at https://thestudiobangalore.com/questions-and-answers/

Cheers
Nandita

yes you may – good quality BWR grade ply/ MR Grade Ply would typically cost above Rs 100 / Rs 80 per sqft respectively

Hi Nandita. I am looking for a shop or vendor who can provide me with a backlit mdf jali which is covered by transparent glass from both sides. I want to use it for my temple. I found few shops but they do only cnc cutting. Lighting provision and glass framing is important for what I am trying to achieve. I have seen videos where these are used as room dividers or in ceiling, but not able to find a vendor. Please help.

Nivedita – you will need to build it yourself with the help of a carpenter and an electrician. These things are not available ready made
