The Siddhivinayak

Siddhivinayak is Mumbai's Ganesha temple: siddhi is the thing asked for, vinayak the one who grants it. It takes the name because Ganesha is pierced through its crest.

Wide enough for more than one murti, with Ganesha pierced through the crest above them.

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.

The crest is pierced rather than carved in relief: the figure is cut clean through the board, so what is left has to hold the shape on its own.

In your home

Eye height, and it wants a metre and a quarter of wall.

122 cm across and 51 cm deep — half a metre off the wall, which is more than the Everyday pieces and enough to notice in a narrow room. Measure the walkway past it, not just the wall behind 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.
