Silver Plated Idols
Lord Shiva Idol — 999 Silver Plated Matte Finish | 6 Inch | Gold Art ...
999 Silver Plated Idols — Genuine Electroplated Divine Murtis by Gold Art India
Every idol in this collection carries a genuine 999 grade silver electroplated finish. 999 silver is the same purity standard used in fine silver jewellery — not silver paint, not metallic lacquer. The idol is submerged in a 999 silver bath and the metal bonds to the polyresin surface through electrical current. The result has a depth, weight and lustre that painted finishes cannot replicate.
56 products across Ganesha, Kamdhenu, Krishna, Hanuman, Shiva, Balaji and Lakshmi. Starting at ₹839 and going up to ₹5,879 for the full Lord Shiva idol.

Why 999 Silver Over Other Finishes
Silver has been considered the most sacred metal for idol making in Hindu tradition for centuries. The 999 purity grade means the plating contains 99.9% silver — the highest available. This gives the finish a cooler, more serene lustre compared to gold, which is why silver plated idols are particularly popular for Lord Shiva, Lord Ram and Adiyogi — deities whose traditional aesthetic calls for restraint and depth rather than warmth. Silver also develops a gentle patina over time that many devotees find adds to the idol's character.
Will silver plated idols tarnish?
With basic care they hold up well. The idol is lacquered after plating which slows tarnishing significantly. Keep the idol dry, wipe with a soft dry cloth, and avoid moisture, perfume spray and chemicals near the surface. If a slight patina develops over months of use, it adds to the antique matte character of the piece. For glossy silver finish idols, a silver polishing cloth used gently will restore the shine.
Which silver plated idol is best for daily puja?
For daily puja at home, the silver plated Ganesha idols from ₹849 are the most practical — compact, easy to clean, and the 999 silver finish looks beautiful under a diya. For a mandir centrepiece, the Adiyogi at ₹1,799 or the silver Tirupati Balaji from ₹1,999 are appropriate choices. For Shani puja on Saturdays, the Panchmukhi Hanuman silver matte large idol is traditionally recommended.
Is there a silver plated Radha Krishna idol for weddings?
Yes. The 11 inch Radha Krishna in silver plated finish at ₹7,799 is one of the most premium gifting pieces in the collection. It is a statement piece appropriate for wedding gifts, anniversary presents and premium housewarming occasions. The gold plated version at the same price is also available in the collection.
