13.5 Inch Brass Nataraja Statue, the Middle Size
Which Nataraja should I take? A man at the counter put that to me last week, because we keep the same design in a smaller and a bigger size too. I told him to think about his shelf first, not the statue. For most homes I suggest this 13.5 inch brass nataraja statue, and here is why.
He asked if it would look small. No. The flame ring makes it look wider than its height, and at 4 kg it stands firm on a pooja shelf or a study table without a big console. The bigger one wants a hall; the smaller one suits a tight wall mandir. This one sits nicely in between.
Then he wanted to know what to look at. Shiva dances inside a ring with flame points all along the edge and a row of open loops inside it. His hair locks fly out on both sides, and one upper hand holds a damru. One leg swings across his body while the other foot presses on Apasmara, the small demon lying on the base. A sash floats out on each side and touches the ring. Everything stands on a lotus seat over a stepped square base.
His last question was about the back. The ring is plain there, with rows of small holes, and a round disc sits at the back of Shiva’s head, so the statue looks neat even from the side in an open room.
Many dancers keep a nataraja murti near where they practise and bow to it before class, as the dance is believed to stand for making and ending in the world. For dusting, a soft paintbrush reaches into the holes far better than a cloth.
What are your murtis made of?
We offer both brass and stone murtis, handcrafted by skilled artisans. The material, exact size and weight of each murti are listed in the product details on this page.
Will the murti look exactly like the photos?
Every murti is handmade, so small differences are natural. Brass murtis can vary slightly in colour and finish, and stone murtis can show natural veins, shade and texture of the stone. The design and size stay the same as shown.
How long will delivery take?
Orders within India are usually delivered in 6–10 days, with free shipping. You will receive tracking details once your order is dispatched.
Do you ship outside India?
Yes, we ship internationally. Message us on WhatsApp with your country and the murti you like, and we will share the shipping cost and delivery time.
Can I get a custom murti made?
Yes. Share the deity, material (brass or stone), size and finish you want on WhatsApp, and we will guide you on the design, price and making time.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Please record a video while opening the parcel. If anything is damaged, send us the video and photos on WhatsApp and we will help you with a replacement or return as per our return policy.
How do I clean and care for my murti?
Brass: wipe gently with a soft, dry cotton cloth. Avoid water, lemon and chemical polish. Brass slowly develops a warm patina over time; this is natural.
Stone: dust with a soft dry cloth, or a slightly damp cloth if needed, and let it dry fully. Avoid acidic cleaners, soaps and harsh chemicals. Handle with care and place it on a stable, flat surface, as stone can chip if it falls.
Which payment options are available?
You can pay securely online using UPI, debit or credit cards and net banking.
