8 Inch Brass Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Bust for a Study Table

Ask any child who has grown up on the stories of the forts, the escape from Agra and the fight for swaraj, and they will tell you about Shivaji Maharaj with shining eyes. This 8 inch brass chhatrapati shivaji maharaj bust gives those stories a face your children can look at every day.

What children notice first on Raje

The pagdi comes first. It is wrapped in many folds, with a pointed end rising at the back, and every fold has its own pattern. Then the face: a full beard, a curled moustache, the crescent tilak (chandrakor) on the forehead and an earring at the ear.

Below the neck, rows of pearl strings lie over a patterned angarkha, with diamond and flower shapes on the chest and arms. Turn him around and the back of the pagdi and the angarkha carry the same fine lines. The karigar cut those lines by hand with a chisel once the casting was done.

Keeping Raje where young eyes can see him

The bust rises from a small round stand, so it needs very little space. At 2.2 kg it stays firm on a study table, a bookshelf or a low cabinet in the hall. Keep him at a child’s eye level rather than on a high shelf, so the stories always have a face to go with them. A soft dry cloth once a week keeps the brass bright.

On Shiv Jayanti, put a small tilak on Raje and ask the youngest one at home to tell the story of the day while the elders listen.

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.
