About these pieces
A singhasan is the throne an idol sits on: a seat with a high arched back, often with lions, peacocks or a chhatra worked into it.
The height on the listing is the height of the whole throne including the back, not the seat. What must fit your idol is the seat: its width and depth, and the clearance under the arch. So measure the base of your murti and its height, then compare with the dimensions and photos on the listing. As a rule, the throne should be clearly taller than the idol so the arch frames the head. Weights run from about 140 g to 2.18 kg. A 6.5 inch singhasan here weighs 570 g, which is light enough to lift with the idol on it.
Most buyers add a small cushion or gaddi on the seat. It protects the base of the murti and the polish of the throne.
