Ayodhya’s climate attacks furniture from both directions. Monsoon humidity on the Saryu plains swells unseasoned timber, and a hotel’s air conditioning then pulls that moisture back out for most of the year, so cheap wood warps, drawers bind and joints pop within a season. Pilgrim-season occupancy adds a second load: families arrive with heavy suitcases and boxes of prasad, check in at odd hours around darshan slots, and ask for an extra bed in a room planned for two. Retail furniture is not built for this. Luggage benches crack at the rails, thin foam flattens, and a denim rivet or metal buckle tears light upholstery. Craftnika builds against each failure: timber seasoned to 8%–10% moisture, mortise-and-tenon frames with corner blocks and steel reinforcement, HR 35–40+ density foam and 50,000+ Martindale fabric, so rooms stay presentable through several peak seasons.
