Ram Darbar Murti

Ram Darbar Murti in Brass: Sets, Ram Lalla and Ram Mandir Models

Shri Ram with Sita Maa, Lakshman ji and Hanuman ji kneeling at their feet: that is the Ram Darbar most families want in their pooja room. On this page you will find 40 brass pieces for Ram bhakts, from a 4.5 inch Ram Darbar that fits a small wall mandir to a 53 inch Ram Lalla for a temple.

What you will find here

• Ram Darbar sets (20): Ram, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman ji, either as separate standing murtis or joined on one base, some under an arch. Sizes run from 4.5 inch, like this small Ram Darbar with arch, to 24 inch, like the 24 inch Ram Darbar.
• Ram Lalla (12): the child form of Shri Ram, many of them made after the Ayodhya murti, from 9.5 inch for homes up to 53 inch for temples. Three of them are black, with a black lacquer coating. See the 9.5 inch Ram Lalla.
• Ram Mandir models (4): brass models of the Ayodhya temple, 5 to 8.3 inch, one of them for the wall.
• Shri Ram alone (2), a wall plate and a framed Ram Darbar.

Two of the Ram Darbar sets have an antique finish, which is darker and shows the carving more.

Picking the right size

For a wall mandir or a car, 4.5 to 6 inch is enough. Most home mandirs look best with a set of 7.5 to 13 inch, where you can still see each face clearly. Sets from 16 inch upward, and the big Ram Lalla murtis, are for pooja rooms and temples, and the largest need two or more people to lift.

Separate murtis let you arrange the family the way your elders did. A set on one base is easier to clean and stays in line.

How these murtis are finished

Every piece is cast in brass and then gone over by hand with a chisel, which brings out the bows, crowns and jewellery. Black parts are a black lacquer coating, not paint.

Can I keep a Ram Darbar at home?

Yes. It is one of the most common murtis in Indian homes. Many families keep it facing east or west in the pooja room.

Ram Darbar or Ram Lalla: which one should I choose?

Choose Ram Darbar if you pray to the whole family of Shri Ram. Choose Ram Lalla if your family is close to the child form, as worshipped in Ayodhya.

How do I clean a brass Ram Darbar?

A dry cloth every week, and lemon with salt or tamarind when it darkens. Never use these on black lacquer coating. Our guide on how to clean brass idols at home shows each step.

Which murti goes with a Ram Darbar?

Many families keep a separate Hanuman ji nearby. You will find him in our Hanuman idols.

Jai Siya Ram.
