Hinduism is deeply rooted in devotion, rituals, and traditions that honor deities with the utmost respect. Among the many ways of expressing devotion, the presence of gold and silver-plated idols holds a special place in worship. At Gold Art India, we don’t just create idols—we craft divine masterpieces using a meticulous multi-layer plating process that ensures unmatched beauty and durability.

The 5-Layer Plating Process Behind Every Gold & Silver Idol
Creating a premium gold and silver-plated idol is not just about coating a material—it is an art that involves multiple steps and layers to achieve the perfect shine, smoothness, and durability.
- Base Material – High-Quality Poly-Resin: Known for durability and fine detailing, but requires conductivity for plating.
- Conductive Coating – Palladium Layer: A rare metal layer that makes the idol ready for electroplating.
- Copper Plating – Strength & Shine: Enhances the idol’s structure and shine, serving as the base metal.
- Nickel Plating – Smoothness & Refinement: Adds luster, smooth finish, and durability.

Silver or Gold Plating – The Final Divine Touch:
- Silver-plated idols: Palladium → Copper → Nickel → Silver (4-layer)
- Gold-plated idols: Palladium → Copper → Nickel → Silver → Gold (5-layer)
