A rendering of this piece in the finish you chose. We photograph your piece before it is crated, and you see those photographs before it ships.

Everyday · For daily pooja. Stands on the floor; the murti sits at chest height.

The Haridwar

Haridwar is where the Ganga reaches the plains, and the gate the Char Dham pilgrimage starts from. The name sits here for its height: at six feet you stand to it.

Six feet of temple, floor-standing, on just under a metre of wall.

From order to your door

Your piece is carved for you. That takes about four months.

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.

At 183 cm the piece is built in parts and put together where it will stand. The plinth and the canopy travel separately in the crate and go together in your room.

In your home

As tall as a person, and about as wide as a single bed.

It needs 94 cm of clear wall and 183 cm of height, which a standard ceiling takes. The crate is the thing to check rather than the room: it comes in parts, so the doorway and the stairs matter more than the wall does.

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.
