The Shirdi
Shirdi in Maharashtra is where Sai Baba lived and is buried. It takes the name for its plain front: one canopy, one crest, and a step that pulls out.
A single bay with nothing carved into the crest, and a step that pulls out below it.

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.
Less carving than the others its size, and more joinery. The canopy, the crest and the pull-out step are each cut from solid board and fitted at the bench.
Waist-high, on 76 cm of wall.
The same footprint as the Lalbaug — 76 cm across, 38 cm deep. With nothing carved on the crest it reads quieter in a room, which suits a shelf in a hallway or a bench in a small flat.
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.
