Large Marble Murtis

Large marble murtis are roughly over 24 inches tall and are usually made for temples, community halls and large homes. They need more planning than smaller pieces, particularly for floor loading, access and freight.

Available pieces

Where large murtis are used

Large murtis are most often installed in temple sanctums, community centres and spacious pooja rooms. Many are made to order to suit a specific space, so the dimensions of the sanctum, the pedestal and the viewing distance all matter.

In a temple, devotees often see the murti from several metres away, so overall proportion, the height of the pedestal and the lighting matter as much as fine detail. Photographs or drawings of the sanctum, with measurements, help us suggest a suitable height.

Floor loading and installation

A large murti in solid marble, together with its pedestal, can weigh a great deal. Before ordering, check that the floor or platform can carry the load, especially on upper floors or suspended timber floors. Temples often ask a structural engineer to confirm this. Plan how the murti will be positioned: lifting equipment may be needed, and the route from the delivery vehicle to the sanctum should be measured, including doorways, corridors, steps and lifts.

Freight and delivery

Large murtis normally travel by air or sea freight in a sturdy crate rather than by courier. Wooden crates for international shipping must meet the ISPM 15 standard. Final delivery is usually arranged by appointment, and you may need people or equipment on site to unload and unpack the crate safely. Delivery estimates depend on destination and shipping method, and we confirm them in your quotation.

Allow time

Carving a large murti takes longer than a small one, and freight adds to the overall timeline. If you are working towards a pran pratishtha, an inauguration or a festival, share the date when you first enquire.

FAQ

Common questions

What counts as a large marble murti?

On this site, large murtis are roughly over 24 inches (about 60 cm) tall. Exact dimensions are listed on each product page or in your quotation.

Do I need to check my floor before ordering a large murti?

Yes. Solid marble is very heavy, and a large murti with its pedestal can put a significant load on a floor. For upper floors, timber floors or temple platforms, ask a structural engineer to confirm the floor is suitable.

How is a large murti delivered?

Usually by freight in a crate, with delivery by appointment. Plan the route to the final position and arrange people or lifting equipment for unloading.
