What material is this idol made of?
This idol is made of brass (pital), an alloy of copper and zinc that has been used for temple and home idols for centuries. Size and weight are in the Specifications above.
Will my idol look exactly like the photos?
Each piece is handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans, so slight variations in size, weight, colour and finish are natural – they make every idol unique.
How do I clean and care for this idol?
Wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. To bring back the shine on a plain metal finish, gently clean with lemon juice and baking soda (or tamarind), rinse and dry completely. For antique, coloured or stone-work finishes, use only a soft dry cloth. See our cleaning guide.
Will the colour or black finish come off?
No. The coloured, black and antique finishes are permanent and do not come off with normal cleaning. Just wipe them with a soft dry cloth – do not use lemon, acids or metal polish on the coloured parts.
What is the stone work made of? Will the stones come out?
The coloured stone work is a lac + plastic inlay, hand-set into the brass. It is firmly fixed and does not come out with normal handling and cleaning. To keep it looking new, wipe with a soft dry cloth – do not soak the idol or use lemon, acids or polish on the stone work.
