Lakshmi Idols, 8 to 15 inch, Above ₹5,000
About this collection
Lakshmi idols from 8 to 15 inch above this band are chosen for a home temple, a pooja room or a shelf where the figure is the focus. 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 stand keeps the idol upright and takes its full weight.
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 its base, with help.

Good to know
Which size suits a home temple?
A piece near the middle of this range suits a home temple well, since it can be seen clearly without filling the shelf. Measure the shelf first.
Is a brass Lakshmi idol heavy?
Brass is heavy, and the larger pieces weigh several kilos. Check the weight on the listing and make sure the shelf 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.
