Handcrafted Vietnam White Marble Swami Samarth on Lotus Base, 15 inch

Shree Swami Samarth of Akkalkot — the revered Datta-tradition guru-saint whose assurance "Bhiu Nakos, Mi Tujhya Pathishi Aahe" (Fear not, I am with you) has anchored generations of devotees — is here carved seated upon a fully open lotus, his right hand raised in the abhaya mudra of fearless blessing. The luminous, benevolent gaze, the long beard flowing to the chest, and the shawl draped over one shoulder capture the saint in his most familiar darshan: the ever-present guru who reassures without a word. Hand-carved from Vietnam White Marble, the murti carries a clean, cool porcelain-white tone that stays true under daylight and cove lighting alike — brighter and crisper than warm-cream Makrana, without a hint of beige. Skilled artisans work the stone to a soft satin polish, so the surface holds a gentle inner glow where light penetrates the fine crystalline marble, while every strand of beard, fold of the shawl, and petal of the lotus keeps its crisp chisel definition. At 15 inches, the piece is scaled for intimate devotion. The fully carved twin-tier lotus pedestal lifts the saint clear of the surface, giving the murti a grounded, temple-like presence that reads beautifully in a modern pooja niche, a compact home shrine, or a quiet meditation corner. It is a considered size — substantial enough to be the focus of daily aarti, compact enough for an apartment altar. Because each Swami Samarth is carved by hand, subtle variations in grain and tooling make every piece one of a kind. It arrives ready for pran-pratishtha and daily worship, and makes a deeply meaningful gift for a griha pravesh, a new pooja room, or a devotee of the Akkalkot lineage.
