Ganesh Idols

Brass Ganesh Idols for Home, Office and Gifting

Every pooja starts with Ganesh ji, so a Ganpati murti is often the first one a family buys. This page has 225 pieces: brass ganesh idols, and a few carved in stone, from a 2 inch piece for the car to 34 inch statues for a temple hall. For a ganesh idol for home, for the office desk or for a gift, compare the forms and sizes below.

Forms you can choose

• Seated Ganpati: on a lotus, a throne or a small chowki, like the 16 inch large brass Ganesh on a double lotus seat.
• Laxmi Ganesh: about 60 pairs and pieces for Diwali pooja, and 15 sets with Saraswati as well, like the 5.6 inch set of three.
• Small and child forms: the 2 inch small brass Ganesh, our most ordered piece, and the 5.5 inch Bal Ganesh for a study table.
• Dancing, on a jhula and Panchmukhi: a few of each.
• For the wall and the entrance: 16 wall hangings, like the 8.5 inch Ganesh wall hanging, plus urlis and diyas with Ganesh ji, like the 7.5 inch Ganesh urli with elephants.

Size for the place

A car dashboard or a work desk takes 2 to 4 inch. A wall mandir or a small table mandir takes 4 to 8 inch. A big pooja room, a shop counter or the main hall suits 10 to 16 inch, and temples look at 20 inch and above.

Brass or stone

The brass murtis are cast and then finished by hand with chisel work, so the trunk, the crown and the jewellery stay sharp. Clean plain brass with lemon and salt; the stone ones need a dry brush only. Our cleaning guide has the details. For pairs and sets, also see the Laxmi idols and the urlis.

Questions about Ganesh idols

Which side should the trunk turn for home?

Most homes keep a Ganpati whose trunk turns to his left, which is believed to be the easier one for daily pooja. Our guide on Ganesh trunk direction explains all three kinds.

Which size suits a car?

A 2 to 3 inch Ganesh fits most dashboards. Fix it with a strong double-sided tape so it does not slide while driving.

Can I keep two Ganesh idols in one mandir?

Yes. Many families keep one main Ganesh murti in the mandir and a small one for the office desk or the car.

What is the price of a brass Ganesh idol?

It follows the size and the weight of brass, so the small pieces cost the least. Each product page shows today's price.

When is the next Ganesh Chaturthi?

See our Ganesh Chaturthi date and pooja guide; many families bring home a new murti for it.

Ganpati Bappa Morya.
