The Kashi

Floor-standing, with the murti at about chest height. The piece the rest of the range is photographed to match.

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.
Eight to ten weeks at the bench.
The shikhara carries the carving. It is drawn onto the board from the workshop's template, cut with chisel and mallet, then brought together with the columns and the plinth at the bench.
About chest height, a metre wide.
It needs 94 cm of clear wall and stands 43 cm off it. At 137 cm the murti sits where you can see it without stooping or reaching, which is the reason for the size rather than an accident of it.
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.
