9.5 Inch Brass Vishwaroopam Vishnu Shankh

A plain brass shankh is smooth and bright. This 9.5 inch brass vishwaroopam vishnu shankh is a different thing: the whole front is filled with Vishnu in his Vishwaroopam form, with many heads and many arms, carved deep into the shell.

What a plain shankh does not have

Across the top of the front panel runs a row of crowned heads. Below them, arms spread out on both sides like an open fan, and in the middle Vishnu stands straight on a lotus. Flower scrolls fill every gap. The grooves carry a darker tone and the raised parts stay golden, so the carving is easy to read even from a few steps away. The top of the shell has spiral bands with a small opening, and the pointed tip is covered in leaf carving. Turn it over and the back has round discs and more flower scrolls, so it looks finished from both sides.

Vishwaroopam is the form Krishna showed Arjuna on the battlefield, as told in the Bhagavad Gita. That is why a vishwaroopam shankh is kept by many Vishnu and Krishna devotees.

Where the shankh looks right

Lay it beside a Vishnu or Balaji murti in the mandir, or set it on a small shankh stand on a study table. At 2.3 kg it lies steady and will not roll.

Is it for pooja or for decor?

Both. Some families keep it in the mandir as a vishnu shankh showpiece next to the deity; others keep it on a living room shelf, where guests stop to count the heads. Wipe it with a dry soft cloth only.

In Vishnu’s own hand, the shankh is known as Panchajanya.

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.
