Take off your shoes.
Breathe the sandalwood.
In Scarborough's east end sits a shop unlike anything you'll walk into elsewhere. Cross the threshold and the shoes come off. Sandalwood drifts from incense burning somewhere within, and a mantra plays low in the background.
Run for years by Ann & Gopal, Om Deepam is a true one-stop shop — pooja samagri and murtis on one floor, and upstairs a world of ethnic wear for weddings, temple, and everyday. If you have a pooja coming up and don't know what you need, our pooja lists make it simple.
"One can spend a whole day in this shop — and many people do."
