Lakshmi Idols under ₹1,000 (Laxmi Murti Price List)

This page holds 56 Lakshmi idols and Laxmi Ganesh pairs under ₹1,000, from ₹325 to ₹985, in sizes from 1.1 to 8.5 inch. Thirty-four are pure brass and 22 are aluminium. Weights run from 20 g to 540 g and the middle price is about ₹600.

Here is what the price buys. Brass Lakshmi murtis in this range are mostly 1.5 to 2 inch, with some up to 4.6 inch, and they are the pieces to choose for a pooja thali, a locker shelf, a desk or a small mandir. A 1.5 inch brass idol weighs about 30 g, so do not expect a heavy casting at the lowest price. Aluminium gives more height for the money: a 3.5 inch Laxmi Ganesh joda for a desk, a 5.8 inch pair for a home mandir, and Lakshmi seated on a lotus. If you are buying for Diwali puja and want brass, look at the brass Laxmi Ganesh pairs first, since most families worship the two together. If you want a single Lakshmi for daily pooja, the 4.6 inch brass idol is the largest brass piece we can point to in this budget. Several brass idols share a height and differ by design number, so compare the photos.

A small brass Lakshmi is often kept with coins or in the tijori, by family tradition. Wipe it dry after any abhishek. Kumkum and haldi left on brass leave dark marks, and they come off with lemon and salt.
