Durga, Devi and Saraswati Idols in Brass
Devi murti · Mata Rani · Durga Maa · Saraswati Mata · Kali Maa · pital ki murti
About these pieces
All the goddess idols in one place: Durga and Kali, Saraswati, and other Devi forms. Most are brass (167) and 11 are aluminium. Sizes run from about 2.1 inch to 23 inch, and weights from 80 g to more than 15 kg.
First choose the deity, then the size. Durga on her lion is the pick for a home mandir and for Navratri. Saraswati with the veena is bought for a study room, a school, a music class or an office. Use the three sub-categories to narrow down. For a shelf mandir, 6 to 7 inch is a comfortable size; a 6 inch brass Durga here weighs 1.25 kg. Larger idols need a chowki, a deep shelf and two people to lift. The heaviest Saraswati is listed at 28.5 kg.
If the idol will be bathed during puja, plain polished brass is the easiest to maintain. Painted and stone-work idols should be wiped, not soaked. Height and weight are on every listing, so compare both before you decide.
