prayer altar

Sacred kneeling station

A prayer altar is a dedicated space—often a small table, shelf, or corner—arranged with spiritually meaningful objects for religious devotion or meditation.

The setup typically includes candles, sacred texts, images, or religious symbols, varying by tradition.

Christians, Buddhists, practitioners of folk religions, and others maintain prayer altars in homes or places of worship: She lit incense at her prayer altar each morning.
