Compact · On a shelf or a bench. For a flat or a first home.

The Dwarka

Dwarkadhish stands on the Gujarat coast, and its flag is changed five times a day. This is the only piece that flies a flag, which is how it got the name.

The largest Compact piece, and the only one in the range that flies a flag.

Pieces leave Ahmedabad by sea on a sailing we book for you. We send photographs at four points: when the order is confirmed, when carving starts, when it is finished, and when it is on the ship.

The craft

Eight to ten weeks at the bench.

No other piece in the range carries anything above the crest line. The flag and its staff are cut and fitted on their own; the rest follows the workshop's drawing for this piece, the same one every time.

In your home

About chest height, and just under a metre wide.

94 cm across and 43 cm deep — wider and deeper than the three smaller Compact pieces, and the flag adds height above the crest. Check the shelf it is going on takes 43 cm before you order.

A mandir belongs in the north-east corner of the home — the ishan kon. Where that corner is not free, an east or north wall does. You face east to pray, so the murti faces back west.

This is the same for every piece we make, so it is said once here rather than on each one.
