Is a “prayer room” a Muslim thing or a Hindu thing?

I went to an open house this weekend and the realtor (who was Indian) told me the owners (who were Indian as well) didn’t want open house guests in a certain room because it was closed off and served as a “prayer room.”

The furniture was more traditional India than anything that screamed “Islam” but I know that 20% of Indians are Muslim.

Not sure why you thought I would know the answer about Hindus having prayer rooms, but this site confirms such:

I’d still seek a thorough pre-purchase (no rooms barred) inspection, both for myself and my contractor. I say this because I am not an expert, but just play one on FR.
