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
The Kubera range
Read full guide Show less
Kubera is the treasurer of the gods, the keeper of wealth, and he is almost always kept alongside Lakshmi rather than alone: she is prosperity, he is its custody. This small collection is brass, the Kubera with his mongoose and the Lakshmi Kubera pair.
The forms
Kubera with the mongoose, in brass at 4 to 5 inches. The mongoose, nakula, is his attribute, held in the hand and shown disgorging jewels, which is the detail that identifies him. He is depicted stout and seated, a sign of abundance rather than a comment on him.
The Lakshmi Kubera pair, the more bought of the two, since the tradition keeps them together. Lakshmi is worshipped for wealth and Kubera for its safekeeping, which is why the pair is a Diwali and Dhanteras fixture. See Maa Lakshmi idols.
Combos pairing Kubera with Lakshmi's charan paduka.
Dhanteras and Diwali
The season for this collection. The Lakshmi Kubera puja on Dhanteras is when the pair is most bought, and the Dhanteras custom of buying metal on the day itself makes a solid brass Kubera the traditionally apt purchase rather than a plated one. Buy early in the week, since stock thins fast. See Dhanteras gifts and Diwali gifts.
Material and placement
This collection is solid brass: heavy, finely detailed, abhishek-safe and cleanable indefinitely, darkening between cleanings as oxidation rather than damage. Four inches suits a shelf mandir; the pair is wider, so measure the full base.
The north is conventionally associated with Kubera, who is the guardian of that direction in the tradition, and the northeast with the household shrine generally. That directional association is genuinely old; the more specific placement rules are custom.
As a gift
A Lakshmi Kubera pair is a natural Dhanteras, Diwali or new-business gift, and a common one for a shop or office opening. See griha pravesh and housewarming gifts and corporate gifts, or the bulk order enquiry page. To furnish the mandir, pooja essentials; for the wider pantheon, god idols and figurines.
Before you order
- Kubera is usually kept with Lakshmi, not alone. The pair is the more traditional buy.
- The mongoose is the identifying attribute. Check it is cleanly cast.
- For Dhanteras, brass sits inside the buy-metal custom in a way plated resin does not.
- The pair is wider than a single figure. Measure the base.
✦ Questions, carefully answered
The small things you wondered about
Every product page lists the exact height and base width. Photographs flatten scale, so check both numbers against the space you have. A short piece on a broad base often takes more shelf than a taller slim one.
The material is stated on each product page. Solid brass is heavy and can be cleaned indefinitely. Plated pieces are a real layer of gold or silver over a base and should be kept dry. Marble dust is cast rather than carved. They look similar in a photograph and age very differently.
Solid brass takes a paste of lemon and salt or tamarind, rinsed and then dried completely. Plated, antique and meenakari finishes take a soft dry cloth only, because an acidic paste strips the finish rather than the tarnish.
You have 7 days to return any unused piece, for any reason, and every order is covered by our safe-arrival guarantee. If something reaches you damaged, contact us and we will replace it.
