48 Inch Antique Black Brass Tirupati Balaji Statue

Families looking at a large black Balaji usually come to me with the same three worries before they decide. Here are straight answers for this 48 inch antique black brass tirupati balaji statue.

Will the black on his face fade or chip?

The face, arms, hands and feet carry a black lacquer coating. Treat it gently and it keeps its deep colour: dust with a soft dry cloth, keep water, lemon and brass cleaner away from the black parts, and never scrub.

Should I polish the darker brass?

No. The crown, jewels and garlands are in a darker, older gold on purpose. Polish would bring back a mirror shine and take away the temple look. If you want a bright balaji statue, a golden finish will suit you better.

The third worry is weight. He is 40 kg, so three people should move him, lifting by the base and body, and he needs a strong platform with a wall behind.

Seen up close, the large golden namam over his eyes stands out boldly on the black face. Little flames edge the chakra and shankh in his upper hands, a lower hand faces down in blessing and the other is placed on his hip. The darker brass holds shadow in every cut, so the net pattern of the crown, the chest jewels and the long bead garlands look deeper than on a shiny murti. Those fine cuts were made by hand with a chisel after the statue left its cast. Temples that want a venkateswara swamy idol with this old look choose it for the main shrine.

At dusk, one ghee lamp in front of him is enough to make the old gold glow against the black.

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.
