Shiv Ji

Lord Shiva (Mahadev) — Shiva is the destroyer of ignorance and source of yogic stillness. A Shiva murti anchors daily meditation, Abhishek, and Monday vrata.

PureVedicGems offers Shiv Ji in premium materials for home mandirs, office altars, and gifting. Our heritage in sacred items dates to 1937.

Anyone establishing a home temple, upgrading an altar, or seeking a meaningful spiritual gift will benefit from Shiv Ji. No astrological restriction — devotion and cleanliness matter most.

Worship Significance

• Anchors daily puja discipline and family spiritual rhythm
• Invites divine qualities associated with the deity into the household
• Supports festival observances and life-cycle samskaras
• Creates a sanctified space for meditation and children’s cultural education

Placement & Installation

• Ideal placement: North or Northeast home temple; Shiva should not face south in main altar setups
• Install on Pratishtha day or during auspicious muhurta when possible
• Perform simple pran pratishtha with mantra, diya, and offerings
• Perform jal abhishek on Mondays; offer bilva patra, dhatura, and white flowers. Maintain somber, clean altar space.

Care & Cleaning

• Brass/Panchdhatu: tamarind or lemon-salt paste, rinse, dry immediately
• Marble: dry cloth only; avoid acidic cleaners
• Apply sandalwood or kumkum tilak after cleaning — never leave wet on metal
• Keep altar dust-free; incense residue wipes with soft dry cloth

Smaller Shiv Ji idols suit car dashboards and travel altars. Larger murtis anchor main home temples. Pair with matching puja thali, diya, and bell from our collection.

Price depends on material, weight, detailing, and finish (hand-polished vs machine). Panchdhatu and silver command premium; brass offers excellent daily puja value.

PureVedicGems lists dimensions and weight for informed comparison.

Avoid idols with sharp unfinished edges, incorrect iconography, or hollow thin casting that dents easily.

PureVedicGems inspects every murti for proportional accuracy and stable base before dispatch.
