About this collection

This page holds 28 cow and calf statues from ₹1,065, in heights from 2 to 13 inch. 23 are brass and 5 are aluminium, and each listing names the metal in its title. All of them show the cow with her calf, the form many families call Kamdhenu or gai bachda, made in Moradabad.

Choose by where it will stand. The 2 to 4 inch pieces sit inside a home mandir or on a study shelf without crowding other idols. The 5.5 to 10 inch pieces suit a console or a side table. The 13 inch statue is a floor or entrance piece and weighs over 12 kg, so plan a solid surface for it. Weight is the real difference between two pieces that look alike in a photo: the range here runs from 240 g to 13.44 kg. The aluminium statues are much lighter for their height, for example an 11 inch piece at 1.78 kg, which helps on a glass shelf or a wall niche.

Brass darkens slowly in open air. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth each week, and when it dulls, rub with lemon and salt, rinse and dry it fully. Aluminium needs only a dry cloth.

Good to know

What sizes do the cow and calf statues come in?
From 2 inch to 13 inch tall. The small ones weigh a few hundred grams and the 13 inch statue is over 12 kg. Each listing shows its own height and weight.
Is every piece on this page brass?
No. 23 are brass and 5 are aluminium. The metal is the first word of each product name, so check it before you order.
Where do families usually keep a cow and calf idol?
Traditionally in the home mandir, the living room or near the entrance. Many families gift one at a griha pravesh. Placement is a matter of family custom.
Is this a good housewarming or wedding gift?
Yes, it is a common one. The 4 to 6 inch sizes are easy to carry and fit most shelves, so they are the safest pick when you do not know the space.
How do I clean a brass cow and calf statue?
Dry dusting with a soft cloth is enough week to week. For a dull piece use lemon and salt or tamarind, rinse, and dry at once so no water marks stay in the grooves.
