5.5 Inch Brass Makhan Chor Krishna Idol

Three things you will like about this 5.5 inch brass makhan chor krishna idol, before you even place it in your mandir.

That naughty face. Little Kanha has his fingers in his mouth, licking off the butter he just took. His eyes look right at you, as if he knows he has been caught. It is the story every child in India grows up hearing.

The butter pot. His other arm rests on a matki lying on its side. Turn the idol around and you will see the pot has a net pattern carved on it, like a pot hung in a rope sling to keep it away from him.

Fine little details. His hair is tied up on top, and he wears necklaces, bangles and anklets. He sits on an oval base with one leg folded. It is cast in brass and then finished by hand with chisel work, so even the small jewellery is clear. At about 1.2 kg it sits steady on a shelf.

Krishna as Makhan Chor, the butter thief, is believed to bring joy and the sweetness of childhood into a home. Many families offer him a little white butter or mishri on Janmashtami. People search for this form as krishna makhan chor, and it is a popular brass krishna murti for gifting when a baby is born.

Keep a small bowl of makhan in front of him, and watch the children in the house smile.

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.
