Custom Marble Statues

What is in the marble statues collection

This is the broad one. Every statue Tilak Mandirwala makes sits here — deities, saints and secular figures — which makes it the right page to browse when you know you want a marble statue but have not settled on the subject, and the wrong page if you already have. Sizes across the collection run from roughly 6 inches for a home-altar piece to 6 feet and beyond for a temple or a garden installation, in Makrana white marble, Vietnam white marble, black stone, Dholpur pink sandstone or cast marble dust. Everything is carved to order by the master sculptors we work with in Rajasthan, so the pieces shown are examples of what has been made rather than stock waiting to ship.

Narrowing it down

If you know the subject, go straight to its own page — those are shorter, and each one covers the forms, the iconography and the sizing decisions specific to that deity.

For Ganesh there is the general Ganesh statues collection plus the two named Maharashtrian forms, Dagdusheth Ganpati and Lalbaugcha Raja. For Shiva, either Shiva statues or the marble Shiva lingam collection. Krishna is split between Krishna statues for solo forms, Radha Krishna for the pair, and Shrinathji for the Nathdwara swaroop.

The goddesses are at Lakshmi and Durga, with the Lakshmi-Ganesh pair as its own page since it is commissioned so often. Also here: Hanuman, Ram and Sita, Murugan and Tirupati Balaji.

For sants there is Sai Baba, Swami Samarth and Swaminarayan. Buddha is divided by posture — meditating, standing, reclining, garden and laughing Buddha — because the posture, not the deity, is what determines where the piece can go.

How this differs from the other two collections

Three collections divide everything by what the object is, and it is worth knowing which one you want. Statues — this page — are figures: a deity, a saint, a form. Marble temples are the mandir itself, the structure a murti sits inside, from a shelf shrine to a room-sized installation. Handicraft and decor items are everything that is neither: urli bowls, elephants, trays, lamps, inlay work.

Cutting across all three is themed collections, which groups pieces by occasion or by room rather than by object — griha pravesh gifts, pooja-room pieces, festival murtis. If you are shopping for a moment rather than for a thing, start there instead.

Commissioning a marble statue

Nothing here is a fixed catalogue. Any subject shown can be carved in a different stone, at a different size, in a different posture, and that is the ordinary way an order begins rather than a special request. If what you want is not on the site at all — a family deity, a portrait figure, a piece copied from a temple you visit — that is equally welcome, and a photograph is the easiest place to start. Message us on WhatsApp with the subject, a rough size and where it will stand, and we will talk it through, quote it, and follow it from the sculptor's bench to your door.
