Durga and Kali Idols, 8 to 15 inch, Above ₹5,000
About this collection
Durga and Kali idols in this larger size and higher band are chosen for a pooja room or a console table, where the figure is the focus of the corner. Above the budget band the castings are heavier and more finely worked, so the weight tells you how solid the piece is. The thing that matters most is the base: a wide, stable foot keeps a standing figure upright, and the weight decides how strong the surface must be.
Almost all pieces are brass, and each listing names the metal. Dust the figure with a soft brush, wipe it with a dry cloth, and keep the base dry. Lift a heavy idol by the base, with help.

Good to know
Which size suits a console table?
A piece near the middle of this range suits a console, since it can be seen without filling the table. Measure the width first.
Is a large Durga idol heavy?
Weights in this band start at a few kilos and rise with the size. Check the weight on the listing and make sure the table can carry it.
How should brass be cleaned?
Use a soft brush for the detail and a dry cloth for the surface. Use mild soap only for marks.
