The Lalbaug
Lalbaugcha Raja is the Ganesha of Lalbaug, a market area of Mumbai. This piece carries the name because Ganesha is carved into its crest arch.

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 crest arch is where the work is. Ganesha is drawn onto the board from the workshop's own template, then cut with chisel and mallet on the floor. The same drawing is used for every Lalbaug, so what you saw is what gets cut.
Narrower than a doorway, and waist-high.
It needs 76 cm of clear wall and stands 38 cm off it. Compact pieces are made for a bench or a low shelf rather than the floor, so measure from the surface it will sit on, not from the carpet.
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.
