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
Mahashivratri gifts and idols

Mahashivratri, the great night of Shiva, falls on the fourteenth night of the dark fortnight of Phalguna and, unusually, is kept at night, traditionally across four prahar with an abhishek in each. Bilva leaves are the characteristic offering. It is the peak occasion of the year for a Shiva murti.
It is also the one time the material choice matters most, because a murti bought for Mahashivratri will be bathed four times in a single night. That makes brass the right choice, since plating cannot survive repeated abhishek. A meditating Shiva, a Shivling, or a Trishul, Damru and Om emblem all suit, alongside a diya and a pooja set for the night-long worship.

Brass. A murti bought for Mahashivratri will be bathed four times in a single night during the four prahar abhishekams, and plating cannot survive repeated abhishek. This is the one occasion where the material choice matters most.
The great night of Shiva, on the fourteenth night of the dark fortnight of Phalguna. Unusually, it is observed at night rather than by day, traditionally across four prahar with an abhishek in each, with bilva leaves as the characteristic offering.
Household Shivling worship is widespread and long-established, so the flat prohibition you may read online is not something we can support. The related conventions, such as keeping only one, are widely followed custom rather than traceable to a text. Follow what your family follows.
