Hanuman Idols

Brass Hanuman Statue for Home and Temple

Every Tuesday and Saturday, homes all over India light a lamp and read the Hanuman Chalisa before Bajrang Bali. On this page you will find more than 40 murtis of Hanuman ji, from a 3.5 inch pocket murti to a 27 inch piece for a temple or a big pooja room. Each brass hanuman statue here is cast in brass and finished by hand with chisel work.

The forms of Hanuman ji here

• Sitting Hanuman with gada and one hand raised in blessing, the form most families pick for a home mandir, like this 9 inch sitting Hanuman murti.
• Standing Hanuman with the gada on his shoulder, like the 9.6 inch standing Hanuman with gada.
• Panchmukhi Hanuman with five faces, in brass and in pink stone. See the 12.2 inch Panchmukhi Hanuman.
• Busts and a wall hanging for walls and entrances, like the 12 inch Hanuman wall hanging.
• A few rare poses too: Hanuman in meditation and a reclining Hanuman.

Picking the size

Murtis from 3.5 to 5 inch suit a car dashboard, an office desk or a travel pooja box. For most home mandirs, 7 to 12 inch is the sweet spot: big enough to see his face clearly, small enough for a shelf. Pieces from 14 to 27 inch are for temples, shop counters and large pooja rooms; they are heavy, so plan a strong stand and two people to lift.

Keeping him clean

Wipe brass murtis with a soft dry cloth every week. Before Hanuman Jayanti, clean them with lemon or tamarind, rinse and dry well. Pink stone murtis need only a dry brush. Our guide on how to clean brass idols at home explains each step. For Ram, Sita and Lakshman with Hanuman, see the Ram Darbar page.

Questions buyers ask

Which Hanuman idol is good for home?

Most families choose a sitting Hanuman in blessing pose, or Hanuman ji with folded hands as Ram bhakt. Both look calm and suit daily pooja.

Can I keep a Panchmukhi Hanuman at home?

Yes. Many families keep Panchmukhi Hanuman ji in the mandir or near the main door, as the five faces are believed to guard the home from every side.

Which day is good to bring him home?

Tuesday, Saturday or Hanuman Jayanti are the days most people choose to seat a new hanuman idol brass murti in the mandir.

Is every idol solid brass?

The brass murtis are cast in brass and finished by hand with chisel work. The pink stone murtis are named that way on their own pages.

Choose the Hanuman ji whose face gives you courage, and let the Chalisa ring out in front of him every Tuesday.
