Silver-plated vastu pieces — tortoise, Kamdhenu cow, running horse, elephant pair, swan pair — each with direction-by-direction placement guidance. From ₹999, with free shipping across India.
According to Vastu Shastra, a tortoise idol should be placed in the north or centre of the home, preferably in a water bowl or on a clean surface facing inward. The north direction is associated with wealth and career growth (governed by Kuber), making a silver-plated tortoise here particularly auspicious for financial stability and protection of the household.
Seven running horses (or a pair of running horses) are traditionally placed on the south wall of a living room or office, facing inward toward the room. The south direction is associated with fame, recognition, and career acceleration. Ensure the horses are facing into the room — never toward the door or an external wall. Our 7 Running Horses Silver-Plated (₹14,999) and Standing Horse (₹7,999) are both suitable for this placement.
The main entrance benefits most from a Ganesha idol (on the right side of the doorframe, inside facing out) or a Subh Labh Hanging (₹2,999) placed above the entrance for auspiciousness. An elephant idol with trunk raised, placed near the entrance facing inward, is also a strong positive-energy placement. Avoid placing tortoise or horse idols at the entrance — they are better suited for interior placements.
Vastu items are among the most meaningful griha pravesh gifts because they serve a genuine, ongoing purpose in the recipient's new home. A Kamdhenu Cow (₹1,199) for abundance, a Vastu Tortoise (₹1,099) for stability, or a Laughing Buddha (₹4,999) for happiness — each carries clear intent. All Dev Aastha vastu items ship in premium packaging, making them gifting-ready without additional preparation.
Silver-plated vastu idols from Dev Aastha have a pure silver plating over a resin core. To maintain the silver lustre: wipe with a soft, dry cloth weekly. Avoid water immersion or damp cloths, which can affect the plating over time. Do not use metal polish or abrasive cleaners. Store in the original packaging if not on display. With basic care, the silver finish retains its gleam for years.
