# Handcrafted Makrana White Marble Swaminarayan with Shikshapatri Murti, 30in > Bhagwan Swaminarayan seated in blessing, Shikshapatri in hand: a hand-carved 30in Makrana white marble murti for the home mandir. **Source:** https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/makrana-white-marble-swaminarayan-shikshapatri-30in **Business:** Tilak Mandirwala — made-to-order marble temples (mandirs), statues and decorative handicrafts. Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Founded 2006. **How it works:** Each piece is carved to order by the independent master sculptors TMW works with in Jaipur's Khajane Walon Ka Rasta sculptors' market. TMW designs the piece with the customer, briefs the sculptor, and follows it through to delivery and installation. **Pricing:** request-for-quote — pieces are custom, so the site carries no list prices. **Ships:** across India; export enquiries welcome. **About the image:** a design visualisation, not a photograph of stock on hand. The piece is carved to order after the design is agreed. **Availability:** made to order. ## The Shikshapatri form and its Albeta marble This murti presents Bhagwan Swaminarayan in his teacher-form: seated in serene darshan, the right hand raised in abhaya to bless the devotee while the left hand holds the Shikshapatri, the code of conduct he composed for his followers. Together they carry a single message: the guru who blesses is also the guru who instructs. The tilak-chandlo on the forehead, the finely wound paag (turban), the layered pearl garlands and the flowing royal-ascetic robes are all rendered exactly as the Swaminarayan Sampradaya depicts him. The piece is hand-carved from a single block of Makrana white marble in the Albeta grade, prized for its bright, even, faintly warm white and its dense, close grain. This is the same Rajasthani stone chosen for many of India's most enduring temple murtis, valued because it takes fine detail without chipping and holds a soft satin polish that glows rather than glares. Hairline grey veining, kept to a whisper across the surface, is the natural signature of genuine Makrana stone. ## How the murti is hand-finished Every element (the calm face, the pleated dhoti, the beaded malas and the cushioned asana with its lotus-foot base) is worked by hand by master sculptors from our Jaipur network. The satin finish is raised slowly so the marble keeps its translucence, letting light settle into the folds of cloth and the curve of the blessing palm. ## A 30-inch murti for a home mandir At 30 inches the murti is scaled for a study-shrine, a home mandir, or a well-appointed pooja room: large enough to anchor daily darshan and aarti, restrained enough to sit gracefully on a carved wooden altar. It also makes a deeply meaningful gift for a devotee, a house-warming (griha pravesh), or a Sampradaya milestone. Made to order and finished to your requirements, this Swaminarayan murti is created in the spirit of our promise: Aapki Kalpna, Hamari Rachna, your imagination, our creation. Share your preferences on size, finish, or optional hand-painted detailing and we will craft the piece and deliver it ready for pran pratishtha. ## Specifications - **Material:** Makrana White Marble (Albeta) - **Finish:** Soft polish (satin) - **Colour:** Natural White - **Height:** 30 inches - **Width:** 22 inches - **Depth:** 16 inches - **Weight:** 90 kg - **Ideal for:** Study shrine, Home mandir, Devotee gift Stone, size and finish are all changeable — these are the specifications of the piece as shown. ## Media ### Images (1) - https://vptrobfqdvauunfvodxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/tmw-media-assets/Statue%20product%20images/makrana-white-marble-swaminarayan-shikshapatri-30in.webp (primary, concept render) All media is public and CORS-open — fetch directly, no signing or proxy needed. ## Part of - [Statues](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/collections/custom-marble-statues) ## Related pieces - [Handcrafted Makrana White Marble Harikrishna Maharaj Throne Murti, 36in](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/makrana-white-marble-harikrishna-maharaj-throne-36in) - [Handcrafted Makrana White Marble Nilkanth Varni Yogi Statue, 30in](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/makrana-white-marble-nilkanth-varni-yogi-30in) - [Handcrafted Sagyin White Marble Nilkanth Varni Penance Statue, 42in](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/sagyin-white-marble-nilkanth-varni-penance-42in) ## Enquire about this piece - WhatsApp, message pre-written: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=919766532408&text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20a%20quote%20to%20have%20this%20design%20made%3A%20Handcrafted%20Makrana%20White%20Marble%20Swaminarayan%20with%20Shikshapatri%20Murti%2C%2030in.%20Product%20link%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tilakmandirwala.com%2Fproducts%2Fmakrana-white-marble-swaminarayan-shikshapatri-30in - Tell us the size, the stone and where it is going.
