About the Meena Enamel Work
Meena is a traditional Indian craft of applying vitreous enamel to metal surfaces in intricate patterns. On this idol, the Meena is hand-applied on the red dhoti and ornamental areas by artisans — each piece individually painted, with slight natural variation that marks genuine handcraft. The red dhoti references the form of Balaji as seen in Tirupati temple during certain festival days. At this price point and 9 inch scale, this is the idol for devotees who want the most temple-authentic representation of Lord Venkateswara.

What is Meena enamel work?
Meena is a traditional Indian craft of applying coloured vitreous enamel on a base, fired or hand-cured to set. On this idol, the red Meena is hand-painted on the dhoti and ornamental borders. Each idol is individually done by the artisan, with slight natural variation in the detailing. This handcraft element is what distinguishes this idol from a standard single-finish plated piece.
Does it come ready to gift?
Yes. Ships in a protective gift box with a Vastu placement guide included.
