8 Inch Brass Ganesha Idol with Prabhavali for a Home Mandir

Buying a brass murti for the first time? Start with Ganesha, the one most homes pray to first, and start with a size that is easy to live with. This 8 inch brass ganesha idol with prabhavali is a simple first step: 2.5 kg, steady on its square seat, and small enough for most home mandirs.

What a new buyer should know

Brass darkens slowly with air and touch; that is normal. A dry cloth every week keeps the dust off, and a little lemon and salt now and then brings the yellow shine back. Real brass feels heavy for its size, so do not be surprised when you lift the box.

Ganesha on his throne, under the arch

Ganesha sits on a stepped throne seat, one leg folded and the other foot resting down at the front. Behind him rises a round arch with rows of flower and scroll carving. His lower right hand is raised in blessing, and the lower left holds a modak, with the trunk curling towards it. Down at the front corner of the seat, look for his little mushak. The back of the arch is smooth and plain.

Some shops call this a ganesha idol with arch; prabhavali is the old name for the arch behind a murti.

People often ask whether 8 inch is too small for a pooja room. For a wall mandir or a cabinet mandir it is just right; for a big room temple, look at a larger size.

What you get is a brass ganesha idol that will look the same in twenty years, with a wipe now and then.

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 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.
