Before you bring one home
Choosing & placing your murti
Choosing the size
Pick a height that suits your altar — a 4–6 inch murti sits beautifully on most home mandirs, while taller pieces anchor a dedicated pooja room.
Kept with care
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water and harsh polish — the finish keeps its lustre for years with a light touch.

A short guide
Dhanteras gifts
Read full guide Show less
Dhanteras opens Diwali, on the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Kartik, and it carries one custom above all others: the buying of metal. Purchasing something in gold, silver or brass on the day is held to be auspicious, which makes Dhanteras the one occasion in the year when the metal object is the gift, not just the wrapping around it.
That custom explicitly includes idols, not only utensils and coins, which is why a solid brass murti is the traditionally apt Dhanteras buy in a way a plated piece is not. A Lakshmi Ganesh pair, a Lakshmi Kubera pair for the Dhanteras puja, a brass diya, or a Lakshmi murti all sit inside the tradition.
The practical note that matters most: buy early. Durables are traditionally bought on the day itself, so stock thins fast in that week. For volume, see corporate gifts or the bulk order enquiry page.
Before you order
- Dhanteras is the buy-metal day. Solid brass sits inside the custom; plated resin does not.
- The Lakshmi Kubera pair is the Dhanteras puja pairing.
- Order ahead of the day. Stock thins fast in Dhanteras week.

Because Dhanteras is specifically the day for buying metal, a solid brass murti sits inside the custom in a way a plated resin piece does not. On any other day the choice is about use and looks; on Dhanteras the metal itself carries the meaning.
Lakshmi and Kubera together, Lakshmi for prosperity and Kubera as its keeper, which is why the Lakshmi Kubera pair is the Dhanteras puja pairing. Dhanvantari is also honoured on the day in the ayurvedic tradition.
On the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Kartik, opening the five days of Diwali. The exact date shifts each year with the lunar calendar, so check a panchang.
Yes. Durables are traditionally bought on the day itself, so stock thins fast in Dhanteras week. Ordering ahead is the difference between the piece you wanted and a substitute.
