Handcrafted Marble Dust Radha Krishna Jugal Jodi for Home Mandir, 12-inch

The jugal jodi form, and why marble dust

Krishna stands in tribhanga, the flute already at his lips, and Radha stands at his left with one hand resting near his shoulder — the jugal jodi as Braj imagines it, caught in the moment just before the note. Both wear small mukut crowns and finely worked jewellery, and both share a single lotus base, so the pair reads as one composition rather than two figures set side by side.

At 12 inches this is a shelf piece, not a plinth piece, and that size is exactly why it is cast in marble dust composite. Crushed marble bound in resin gives a very fine, uniform white body that holds crisp detail — the pleats of Radha's saree, the beads of Krishna's vaijayanti mala, the petal edges of the lotus — at a scale where quarried stone starts to fight the chisel. The soft satin polish keeps the surface calm under a diya flame instead of throwing hard highlights back at you.

How each piece is cast and hand-finished in Jaipur

Every piece is cast and hand-finished for you by the artisan families we work with in Jaipur, on the same benches that finish our quarried-marble work. We design it with you, brief the sculptor, watch the finishing, and follow it through to your door. Nothing is pulled off a shelf — each jugal jodi is made against the order it was placed for.

Sizing it for your home mandir, and other options

Sizing for a home mandir: roughly 12 inches tall, 8 inches across the pair and 5 inches deep, at about 7 kg. Light enough for a wooden mandir shelf, heavy enough to stay put during aarti. It suits a daily home mandir, a griha pravesh housewarming, and the wedding or anniversary gift where a Radha Krishna murti is the expected — and the right — choice.

Prefer it larger, or in quarried Makrana or Vietnam white marble, or standing on a separate carved chowki base? Send us the shelf measurement and the look you have in mind, and we will quote that version instead.
