A gift with presence, the level a close friend or relative gives. A mid-size pair or a finer finish that anchors a shelf in the couple's new mandir.
Face the murti east or north-east in a clean, quiet corner of your home mandir, raised a little above the floor.
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.
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.
Up to 5000 is the range for a gift with a bit more presence, the level a close friend or a relative tends to give. It buys a mid-size murti in a good finish, or a finer pair, something that anchors a shelf in the couple's new mandir rather than sitting to one side of it.
At this budget the strong choices are a mid-size Lakshmi Narayan or Radha Krishna pair, a Lakshmi Ganesh set in antique finish, or a white and gold marble dust piece that presents beautifully. For a smaller budget see under 3000; for a landmark gift, under 10000.
