Handcrafted Makrana White Marble Swami Samarth Statue in Relaxed Blessing Pose, 2.5 ft

The relaxed Akkalkot pose, and its Makrana marble

Shree Swami Samarth of Akkalkot — the revered 19th-century guru-saint venerated across Maharashtra and beyond — is captured here in the posture his devotees cherish most: seated at ease on a draped plinth, one knee drawn up with the forearm resting easily across it, the other hand settled on the seat, a gentle knowing smile beneath a long, flowing white beard. It is the unmistakable grandfatherly bearing of the Akkalkot Maharaj, at once utterly relaxed and quietly commanding.

The murti is hand-carved from a single block of Makrana white marble — the same legendary Rajasthani stone that clads the Taj Mahal — prized for its dense, fine crystalline grain and its soft, luminous natural-white tone. Our artisans finish it to a satin soft-polish that lets light settle gently into the folds of the shawl, the wisps of the beard, and the calm planes of the face, so the piece glows warmly under a diya or lamp rather than glaring.

Sizing a 2.5 ft Swami Samarth for your shrine

Every devotional detail is faithfully rendered: the forehead tilak, the bare ascetic torso with a shawl draped across one shoulder, the deep-set benevolent eyes, and the ease of the seated form on its cloth-draped asana. At 30 inches (2.5 feet) tall, it holds real presence on a mandir chowki or console without overwhelming a living-room shrine.

Swami Samarth is invoked as a source of protection, reassurance, and steady grace — the promise 'Bhiu Nakos, Mi Tujhya Pathishi Aahe' ('Do not fear, I am with you'). A statue of this size makes a fitting centrepiece for a family shrine, a living-room mandir, or a devotional corner, and a meaningful gift for a Swami-bhakt household, a Guru Purnima observance, or a housewarming.

Because each piece is carved by hand, subtle variations in the grain and tooling make your Swami Samarth one of a kind. We can also carve this form in other sizes or stones on request — write to us with your requirement and we will guide you.
