Makrana White Marble Dagdusheth Ganpati on Festival Mandap Base, 3 ft

A three-foot Dagdusheth Ganpati on a festival mandap

Modelled on the beloved Shrimant Dagadusheth Halwai Ganpati of Pune, this three-foot murti carries the same regal, festival-ready presence into your own pandal or mandir. Lord Ganesha sits four-armed and serene on a decorated mandap base, his trunk curving gently to his left toward a modak, the front-right hand raised in the abhaya (fear-not) blessing while the upper hands hold the ankush and pasha — every gesture drawn from the classic Maharashtrian iconography devotees know by heart.

The piece is hand-carved from Makrana white marble, the same dense, fine-grained stone prized for temple work across India, then finished in full traditional polychrome. Master painters lay in the warm saffron-orange complexion, the red-and-gold silk dhoti, jewelled crown (mukut), painted floral garlands and gold-leaf ornament — the layered detailing that gives a Dagdusheth Ganpati its living, celebratory glow rather than a plain stone finish.

Crown, ornament and the details worth a close look

Look closely and the devotional details are all there: the tall ornate crown, the richly worked necklaces and armlets, and the loyal little mushak (mouse) seated at the base, gazing up at his lord. The decorated mandap pedestal lifts the 36-inch deity to a dignified darshan height, ready to be dressed with fresh garlands and lamps through Ganeshotsav.

At three feet, it is scaled for a community mandap, a festival pandal, or a large home mandir where the family gathers for aarti. Because every murti is made to order with our master sculptors, the crown work, ornament palette and base can be tuned to your space and tradition before carving begins.
