6 Inch Brass Ashtalakshmi Shree Yantra Tortoise

Three questions come up every time someone looks at the 6 inch brass ashtalakshmi shree yantra tortoise in the shop. Here are the honest answers.

Is it heavy, and how much space does it need?

Yes, it is a solid piece at 6.2 kg. The tortoise is 13.5 inch long from head to tail, so give it a full shelf or the floor of the pooja room, not the edge of a small mandir. Lift it with both hands under the body, never by the yantra on top.

Will dust sit in all that carving?

Some, yes. A soft paintbrush once a week takes it out, and a dry cloth does the smooth legs and head. No soap or acid on the carving.

What exactly is on the shell?

On top stands a meru shree yantra, the stepped pyramid form, rising to a point. Around it the shell is covered with seated forms of Maa Lakshmi, the eight Lakshmis together. At the front, Gaja Lakshmi sits on her lotus with an elephant on each side, trunks raised. A carved band of leaves runs around the rim of the shell. Below, the tortoise has a smooth head, four strong legs with clawed feet, and a short tail. Every figure on the shell is finished by hand with a chisel after casting, which is why the faces stay clear.

The tortoise is believed to bring steady progress, and the shree yantra is kept for the blessings of Lakshmi. Many families place it facing north, in the pooja room or near the cash box.

The tortoise is Kurma, Lord Vishnu’s second avatar, and Maa Lakshmi is his consort.

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.
