Western studies of religion too commonly overlooked devotion and ritual in domestic spaces because public religious architecture in dominated the attention of mostly male scholars who dismissed the relevance of the home to which they seldom had much access and held less interest.

Within Arampur, as in India generally, the home exists as an important space for devotional practice. For example, many Muslim homes in Arampur, regardless of their size, will often have pictures of the Kaba in Mecca or the Prophet's Mosque in Medina (the two most famous Islamic sites and both situated in Saudi Arabia ) on their walls. Often there may be a calendar marked with important religious dates, such as the month of Ramadan, and adorned with verses from the Quran. In Muslim homes, the Quran is treated with special reverence: it is wrapped in a white cloth and nothing can be set on top of it. The Quran and a prayer rug used for worship are also usually kept in a place that will protect them from coming into contact with anyone or anything that might be ritually impure. Meanwhile, even the most public religious holidays have a domestic element, such as breaking the fast together by men and women in their separate quarters if the family is wealthy enough to afford the space.
