Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between god-idols and your other deity collections?
This is Dev Aastha's broadest deity hub — all 42 silver-plated idols in one place. It is the right starting point if you are browsing across deities or want to compare forms before choosing. Once you decide on a deity, the focused sub-collections — Ganesha Idols, Lakshmi Idols, Balaji Idols, etc. — show only that deity's range with more context on placement and iconography.
Which god idol is best for the home entrance as per Vastu?
For the main entrance, Ganesha facing inward (welcoming guests and blessings into the home) is the most common Vastu recommendation. A Hanuman idol on the south-facing wall is also traditional for protection. Lord Venkateswara (Balaji) is popular in South Indian homes. The key Vastu principle: the idol should face east or north, never face the main door outward. The 3–4 inch size range works well for entrance display without overwhelming the space.
Are these silver-plated or solid silver idols?
Every idol in this collection uses pure silver plating over a resin core — not solid silver and not brass. The silver plating gives a genuine metallic gleam (unlike painted or lacquered alternatives) at a fraction of the cost of solid silver. This makes them suitable for daily puja use without the maintenance complexity of pure silver. We never claim solid silver; if you need hallmarked solid silver idols, those are a separate product category sold primarily by jewellers.
What size god idol is right for a home mandir versus an office desk?
For a dedicated home mandir or pooja room display, 4–8 inches gives proper visual presence and allows for detailed iconographic features to be appreciated. For an office desk or study table, 2.5–3.5 inches is ideal — devotional but not distracting. Compact pieces starting at ₹999 work well for desk use. For a car dashboard, choose pieces under 3 inches (see our Car Dashboard Idols collection for specifically sized options).
Which god idol makes the best gift for a housewarming in India?
Ganesha is the traditional first choice — the deity of new beginnings blesses the new home with an obstacle-free start. Our Ganesha Silver-Plated Idol (3.7") at ₹1,149 and the Throne Ganesha at ₹1,499 are the most popular housewarming picks. For a pair, the Lakshmi Ganesh Silver-Plated Set (₹2,499) invites both prosperity and auspicious beginnings. All arrive in premium Dev Aastha gift packaging, ready to present.
