Aluminium Shiva Idols and Shivling
About this collection
Aluminium Shiva murtis are light, so they are easy to lift, clean and move. The range runs from a shivling to Shiva Parivar and Shiva figures, and some are made to hang on a wall. They suit a home mandir, a niche in a corner or a car where the weight matters.
Aluminium holds its shape and needs only light care. Brush the carving, wipe the body with a dry cloth, and dampen the cloth only when dust has settled. Dry the murti fully, and check the fixing on any wall-hanging piece before you hang it. Keep the figure dry and wipe off any water after a wash, since aluminium is best kept clean and dry.
Good to know
Is aluminium right for a Shiva murti at home?
Yes. Its light weight makes it easy to lift for cleaning and to place on a shelf.
Can a Shiva wall hanging go in a niche?
Yes, on a secure fixing in a sound wall, at a height where it can be seen and not knocked.
How should aluminium be dusted?
A soft dry cloth most weeks is enough. Dampen it only for dust that has settled.
