How it works

Our process

Buying a marble murti, especially from another country, should feel clear at every step. This is how an order with Swarnim Arts works.

Short answer

How does ordering from Swarnim Arts work?

You enquire about a murti or a custom requirement. We discuss the details and send a written quotation. Once you confirm and pay as agreed, the murti is prepared or made, checked, packed and shipped to you.

Payment

For made-to-order murtis you pay in three stages as your murti takes shape: 50% advance to begin the work, 25% once carving is complete and before packing, and the remaining 25% before dispatch, so the order is fully settled before it ships. For larger temple projects we are happy to talk through a schedule that suits your committee.

See also our payment policy and international orders information.

Timelines

Timelines depend on whether the murti is available now or made to order, its size and detail, and the shipping method. We confirm a realistic timeline in your quotation.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to pay before I receive a quotation?

No payment is taken when you send an enquiry through this website. Any payment is agreed in your quotation.

Can I change the design after confirming?

Tell us as early as possible. Whether a change is possible depends on how far carving has progressed, because marble cannot be added back once removed.

Will I know when my murti is shipped?

We let you know when your murti has been dispatched and share the shipping details we have.
