Brass Deity Idols of Kali, Garuda, Sai Baba, Shivaji and More

Some families pray to Maa Kali, some keep Garuda next to Vishnu, some light a lamp for Sai Baba every Thursday. This page brings those brass deity idols together: 32 pieces of gods, devis and saints who do not have a page of their own in our store yet. Sizes run from 4 inch for a small shelf to 40 inch for a temple hall.

Who you will find here

• Maa Kali: four murtis from 5 to 11.6 inch, from the 5 inch Kali Mata idol to the 10 inch Kali with kirtimukha arch.
• Garuda: Vishnu's vahan, in brass at 5.5, 9 and 22 inch, and one carved in pink stone, like the 9 inch brass Garuda statue.
• Saints and gurus: Shirdi Sai Baba (4, 7 and 15 inch), Guru Nanak ji, Neelkanth Varni, Raghavendra Swamy and Maharishi Patanjali.
• Shivaji Maharaj: three murtis of 12, 14.5 and 18.5 inch, one of them seated.
• Other forms: Khatu Shyam ji, Shreenath ji, Lord Brahma, Parshuram, Tulja Bhavani and a 40 inch Tara Devi.
• Also listed here: four large Buddha statues, a 32.5 inch Nataraj, a hawan spoon with a snake design and a Hanuman ghanti.

Picking a size for your space

For a home mandir shelf, 4 to 8 inch is enough. A pooja room with its own platform takes 10 to 16 inch well. Murtis of 18.5 inch and more are for temples, ashrams, offices and big halls, and the heavier ones need two people to place. Our idol size guide shows how to measure the spot first.

Brass, chisel work and care

Every brass piece here is cast first and then gone over by hand with a chisel, so faces, hands and folds stay sharp. Plain golden brass can be cleaned with lemon and salt before a festival. Antique and dark pieces need only a soft dry cloth. The brass cleaning guide has the steps.

Questions about these idols

Can I keep a Kali murti at home?

Yes. Many Bengali and other families keep Maa Kali in the home mandir and pray to her on Tuesdays, Saturdays and at Kali Puja. Keep her on a clean, raised place.

Where should a Garuda statue go?

Garuda is usually kept facing Lord Vishnu, Balaji or Narayan, with folded hands, as he stands in front of Vishnu temples.

Which Sai Baba murti suits a home mandir?

The 4 or 7 inch Sai Baba fits most home mandirs. The 15 inch one suits a bigger pooja room or a Sai temple.

Are these idols good for gifting?

Yes. A Shivaji Maharaj murti makes a proud gift for an office or a new home, and a small Sai Baba or Khatu Shyam suits a griha pravesh.
