5.3 Inch Brass Ayyappa Swamy Idol for a Small Mandir
Early morning, the black dhoti is folded, the mala is on, and a small lamp is burning in front of this 5.3 inch brass ayyappa swamy idol before anyone else in the house is awake. That is the kind of quiet daily pooja this little murti is made for. Ayyappa sits in his well known pose: knees raised, a band tied round them, the right hand lifted with the palm open and the left hand resting on his knee. Garlands fall from his shoulders, his hair is tied up high, and a carved flower sits on the seat between his feet. He sits on a small round seat that rests on a tall pedestal shaped like a bell of lotus petals, with rings at the bottom. That pedestal lifts him up, so even at this size his face is easy to see from the door of the pooja room. At 1.1 kg he is solid enough for daily handling and light enough to carry along when you travel. Keep him on the middle shelf of the mandir, with a lamp in front and space around the pedestal for flowers. Ayyappa is believed to be the son of Shiva and of Vishnu in his Mohini form, which is why he is called Hariharaputra, and devotees keep the 41 day vratham in his name.
People often ask if a small ayyappa idol like this can be the main murti. In a small mandir, yes; for a larger temple room, pick a bigger size from our Ayyappa range.
What you get is a small, solid Ayyappa that will sit in your mandir for many years.
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.
