About the Form
This idol captures Lord Ram at the moment he draws his sacred bow, Kodanda, in the pose of a warrior protecting dharma. The bow and arrow are gold plated separately, creating a striking contrast against the antique matte silver body. The detailing on the crown, armour, quiver and facial expression reflects the standard expected from a deity idol rather than a decorative figurine.
How It Is Made
The idol is sculpted in polyresin, far more durable and detail-retaining than plaster or clay. A conductive base coat is applied to the surface. The body goes through a 999 silver electroplating bath, the bow and arrow through a gold bath separately. An antique matte topcoat is applied to create the aged, regal quality. Genuine electroplating at 999 grade silver purity. Not spray paint, not metallic lacquer.

Which size should I buy — 4 inch or 5.7 inch?
The 4 inch at ₹1,999 is right for car dashboards, office desks, study tables and everyday gifting. The 5.7 inch at ₹3,999 is for home mandirs and living room display where it will be the primary Ram idol. The 5.7 inch has significantly more detail visible at distance and a stronger presence on an altar. If in doubt, the 5.7 inch is the right mandir piece.
Why is the bow and arrow gold plated when the body is silver?
The gold bow and arrow against the silver body is a deliberate design choice. The Kodanda, Ram's sacred bow, is described in texts as divine and radiant. Gold reflects that radiance while the silver body gives Lord Ram the cool, meditative quality of a warrior at peace. The contrast also draws the eye to the bow at full draw, which is the defining image of Ram in his Kshatriya warrior form.
Is 999 silver the same as sterling silver?
No. 999 silver is purer than sterling silver. Sterling silver is 925 grade, meaning 92.5% silver. Our 999 grade silver electroplating is 99.9% pure silver, the highest purity available. On an idol, 999 silver gives a brighter, more reflective finish and resists tarnishing better in dry conditions.
Can I energise this idol at home?
Yes. Place the idol on a clean cloth or wooden platform. Light a diya and offer fresh flowers. Chant Jai Shri Ram 108 times or recite the Ram Raksha Stotra. Sprinkle Ganga jal around the idol if available. For the 5.7 inch mandir idol, a formal Prana Pratishtha ceremony by a priest is recommended for those who observe traditional consecration practices.
Does it come ready to gift?
Yes. Ships in a protective gift box built to keep the idol safe in transit. The packaging is presentable enough to gift directly without rewrapping. A Vastu placement guide is included inside the box.
The craftsmanship is exquisite, with intricate details that truly bring the deity to life. The material is high-quality, giving the idol a beautiful and lasting finish.
