About this piece
Two small brass idols sold together: Goddess Lakshmi holding lotuses in her upper hands, and Lord Ganesha holding a modak and his usual implements. Both sit with a right hand raised in blessing and are shown with ornaments.
Each idol is 3.5 inches tall on a small base, so the set suits a compact altar, a shelf or a desk. Lakshmi and Ganesha are commonly worshipped together at Diwali puja, which is why pairs like this are popular in homes.
How it is used
Small brass idols like these are usually placed on a home altar or shelf and cleaned before festival days. The seller also suggests a study desk or a place of business. Lakshmi and Ganesha are often placed side by side at Diwali.
Looking after it
- Dust with a soft dry cloth.
- Brass darkens over time, so polish it gently with a brass cleaner if you want the shine back.
