Custom Made Swaminarayan Statues in Marble Stone

Q: How long does a custom Swaminarayan marble murti take to make?

Typically **8–12 weeks**, depending on the stone, size, and level of detail. Large temple-format pieces and hand-painted polychrome murtis take a little longer because of the extra carving and finishing work. We share progress photos at each milestone so you stay involved throughout.

Q: What size Swaminarayan murti should I choose for my home?

For a **pooja shelf**, 12–18 inches is ideal. For a **living-room mandir**, 24–30 inches gives real presence. For a **temple or haveli shrine**, 36 inches and above works best. Share a photo of your space on WhatsApp and we'll suggest a size that fits the proportions.

Q: Which marbles and finishes can I choose?

You can choose **Makrana white marble** (the classic warm-white), **Vietnam white marble** (a cooler, brighter white), **Burmese Sagyin marble**, **jet-black marble** for a striking contrast piece, or a **hand-painted polychrome finish**. Tell us your preference on WhatsApp before we start so we source the stone correctly.

Q: Can you carve both the Nilkanth Varni and Ghanshyam Maharaj forms?

Yes. We carve the **teenage yogi Nilkanth Varni** (with kamandalu, japa mala, matted-hair topknot and deerskin), the decorated **Ghanshyam Maharaj**, the **Harikrishna Maharaj** royal throne form, and the seated **padmasana blessing** form — all with the signature **tilak-chandlo**. Share a reference and we'll match the form you have in mind.

Q: Is a Swaminarayan murti a good gift for Swaminarayan Jayanti or a patotsav?

**Absolutely.** Swaminarayan murtis are treasured gifts for devotees, especially around **Swaminarayan Jayanti** and mandir **patotsav** celebrations, and for griha pravesh and family shrines. For larger or bulk gifting orders, share the details on WhatsApp and we'll help with sizing and timelines synced to your date.

Q: Can you ship internationally to NRI devotees?

Yes — we ship worldwide. International shipping depends on **destination + size + insurance value**. For NRI orders we use experienced freight partners with multi-layer wooden crating and full insurance; USA, UK, Australia, Canada and East Africa are most common. We share an exact freight quote once the murti is finalised, so there are no surprises.
