# Handcrafted Marble Dust Composite Lakshmi-Ganesh Pair with Hand-Painted Gold Accents, 12in > Marble dust composite Lakshmi-Ganesh pair on lotus thrones with hand-painted gold accents: a 12-inch festive Diwali altar set. **Source:** https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/marble-dust-composite-lakshmi-ganesh-pair-with-hand-painted-gold-accents-12in **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. ## A 12-inch pair for a shelf or desk Lakshmi and Ganesh seated side by side on their own lotus thrones, each form finished in natural white with hand-painted gold picking out the crowns, the jewellery, the petal edges and the borders of the dhoti and sari. At 12 inches the pair sits comfortably on a mandir shelf, a console table or an office desk. It is small enough to live with every day, and bright enough to hold its own on a Diwali altar surrounded by diyas and marigold. ## Marble dust composite, and the traditional forms The pieces are cast in marble dust composite: crushed Makrana marble bound with resin, cured in a mould, then hand-finished and painted by the artisan. It is an honest budget-tier alternative to solid stone, not a substitute for it. At arm's length it reads as marble, it is noticeably lighter to ship and handle, and it puts a full festive pair within reach of a first altar or a gifting budget. The gold is applied by hand after curing, so no two pairs carry exactly the same line weight along a crown or a petal. The iconography is kept traditional. Ganesh sits on the devotee's left with the modak bowl in his lower hand, a lotus above, his trunk curled to the left, and the mouse vahana resting at the base of his throne. Lakshmi sits to his right in a fully draped sari, lotuses in her upper hands, one hand raised in blessing and the other releasing a stream of coins over the edge of her lotus. Both thrones rise from a single shared plinth, so the pair reads as one composition rather than two separate murtis placed together. ## Buying it for Diwali or a housewarming This is the pair people reach for at Dhanteras and Diwali, when the altar is dressed and the household ledger is blessed. But it is equally at home as a year-round desk shrine or as a housewarming gift for a family setting up their first pooja corner. The gold accents photograph beautifully under diya light, which is why this variant has become the festive default at the entry tier. Every Tilak Mandirwala piece is made to order in Jaipur with the independent master craftsmen we have worked with for years. Size, the depth of the gold work, and a plain natural-white version without accents can all be adjusted before we begin.
