How it is made

Brass is melted and poured into sand moulds, cooled, then turned on a lathe to true the shape. Engravers cut the pattern by hand with a hammer and chisel. The piece is polished on a buffing wheel and sealed with a clear lacquer so it stays bright without weekly cleaning.

Care, shipping and returns

Wipe with a dry cloth. Keep away from detergents and damp. Handmade pieces vary slightly in finish, that is the point.

Dispatch in 1 to 3 working days from India by tracked courier. Shipping is charged by parcel weight and shown at checkout. Import duties and taxes, if any, are collected by the courier on delivery.

Good to know

All Puja

Is this made for daily puja use?

Yes. Every piece is cast in Moradabad from solid brass for the mandir, not sheet-metal décor; weight is listed so you can judge the casting.

How do I keep it clean?

Rinse after use, dry at once, and polish monthly with lemon and salt or Pitambari. Lacquered pieces need only a dry cloth.

Can brass be used for abhishek and water offerings?

Yes. Brass, copper and bronze are the traditional puja metals; steel and aluminium are not used for abhishek in most households.

Do you ship before festivals?

Dispatch is within two working days; order 7 to 10 days before a festival for safe delivery anywhere in India.

Is bulk pricing available for temples?

Yes, slab pricing from 10 pieces with a GST invoice. Message us on WhatsApp with the quantity.

What is a chowki used for?

It is a low seat on which an idol is placed during puja, so the figure sits clear of the surface. At 7 inch it suits a small idol in a home shrine.

Which idols suit a 7 inch chowki?

A small brass idol or a figure of about the same height sits well on it. Check the base of the idol matches the top of the seat before you place it.

How do I clean a brass chowki?

Dust it with a soft cloth, then wipe with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap for dirt in the carving. Dry it straight away to keep the brass bright.
