Shiva, Shivling and Nandi, 8 to 15 inch, Under ₹5,000
About this collection
Shiva idols, shivling and nandi in this larger size and budget band are chosen for a pooja room or a console table, where the piece is the focus of the corner. Jaladhara pieces sit in this group too, and their size should suit the shivling they are used with. The thing that matters most is the base: a shivling needs a flat, steady stand, and a jaladhara needs a level, stable foot.
Most pieces are brass, with a few in aluminium and copper, and each listing names the metal. Dust the detail with a soft brush, wipe the surface with a dry cloth, and keep the base dry. Keep water away from any wooden part.
