4.5 Inch Brass Tortoise Dhoop Dani for the Pooja Room

Loban smoke curls out through dozens of tiny holes in a brass dome, and in a minute the room smells like a temple. That is the evening this 4.5 inch brass tortoise dhoop dani is made for.

The body is a tortoise, with its head poking out at the front, a short tail at the back and four small feet, and it stands on round legs that keep the hot pan off your shelf. The dome lid is cut all over in a jali of flowers and diamonds, edged with a band of small petals, and a peacock sits on top as the knob. Lift the lid by the peacock and it comes right off, showing a flat round pan inside for the coal, sambrani cup or dhoop cone. At 0.9 kg it is light enough to carry from room to room during aarti.

Set it on a flat surface that can take heat, away from curtains. The pan and the lid get hot, so wait until it cools before you lift it by the shell.

Can I use dhoop sticks and cones in it? Yes. Cones and sambrani cups sit in the pan; for sticks, stand them in a small holder inside, then close the lid.

The tortoise is honoured as Kurma, the avatar of Vishnu who held up the mountain on his back, and it is believed to bring steady luck to a home. So this is a brass dhoop stand with a little meaning in it, and the covered kind that most people want when they look for a dhoop dani brass piece.

Close the lid, dim the lights, and watch the jali throw little dots of glow onto the wall.

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.
