God Idols Under ₹2,500 (₹1,000 to ₹2,500)

This page holds 400 idols priced from ₹1,005 to ₹2,480, which is the ₹1,000 to ₹2,500 band. Brass idols here are mostly around 3.5 to 4.5 inch, and aluminium pieces reach 7 and 11.5 inch. 312 are pure brass and 88 are aluminium. Half the page costs ₹1,570 or less.

This is the budget where a brass idol becomes a proper mandir piece. Typical listings are a 4.5 inch Ganesh seated on a chair, a 4 inch Lakshmi Ji, a 4.5 inch Ram Darbar at 580 g, a 4.5 inch Vishwakarma Ji, and 3.5 inch Ganesh and Durga Maa idols at 360 g each. Less common deities such as Behro Baba are here too, along with a brass Hanuman gada for the pooja. Aluminium buys more height for the same money. A seated Radha Krishna at 7 inch and a Laddu Gopal on a jhula at 11.5 inch both fall in this band.

For a gift, decide brass or aluminium first. A brass idol of 4 to 4.5 inch has weight in the hand, and the page runs from 50 g to 1.62 kg. An aluminium idol looks larger in the box but is light, with a painted or plated finish. Both are honest choices as long as the buyer knows which one it is, and the material is in the name of every listing. Height and weight are listed too, so you can compare two idols at the same price.
