Most corporate Diwali gifting is a race to spend a budget on something forgettable. Dry-fruit boxes are eaten and forgotten in a week; branded desk objects are quietly discarded. A handcrafted murti is different for a simple reason: nobody throws away a deity. It goes to the home mandir or stays on the desk, and it carries the company's name for years rather than days.
What fits inside a ₹5,000 per-head budget
| Piece | Size | Unit price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6″ Mahalaxmi, marble dust | 6″ · 0.9 kg | ₹1,999 | Large headcounts, 200+ pieces |
| Mumba Devi twin-dome | 8″ · 1.1 kg | ₹2,499 | Mumbai teams and clients — nobody else makes one |
| 11″ Mahalaxmi, marble dust | 11″ · 2.4 kg | ₹2,999 | Senior teams, client gifting, real presence |
| Shiva on Nandi, 24K gold plated | 6″ · 0.7 kg | ₹6,999 | Top-tier client and board gifting |
Bulk pricing applies from 10 pieces and improves at 50, 100 and 250 — the table shows retail, so per-head cost including branded packaging generally lands below these figures on a real order.
Why murtis outperform the usual hamper
- Retention. A murti is kept and used. It is the rare corporate gift with a multi-year lifespan.
- Visible craft. Hand-painted pieces read as considered rather than bulk-bought, even at 200 units.
- No shelf life. Unlike food hampers, unclaimed pieces do not spoil — leftovers roll into next year or into client gifting.
- Travels well. Marble dust is solid and packs securely; we ship pan-India routinely.
- One supplier, one invoice. Manufacturing, packaging, cards and dispatch handled in-house.
Production timeline — read this part
This is where corporate murti orders go wrong, so we will be blunt about it. Every piece is finished by hand. A 100-piece run is weeks of workshop time, not a warehouse pick. And September–October is when every company in India places its Diwali order simultaneously.
| Order placed by | Quantity comfortably delivered | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 31 August 2026 | Up to 500 pieces | Comfortable, with custom packaging |
| 30 September 2026 | Up to 250 pieces | The practical deadline for most programmes |
| 15 October 2026 | Up to 50 pieces | Tight — standard packaging only |
| After 20 October 2026 | Case by case | We will tell you honestly if it cannot be done |
We would rather decline an October order than take it and deliver after Diwali. Ask us early and the answer is almost always yes.
Branding and packaging
Printed cards carrying your message and logo, custom outer boxes in your brand colours, and individual gift wrapping are all available. For distributed teams we ship to each recipient's address directly — send a spreadsheet of names and addresses and we will confirm the dispatch schedule and per-shipment cost. Larger programmes, OEM work and export orders are covered on our bulk and export page.
A note on gifting murtis at work
Worth saying plainly: a murti is a religious object, and a mixed-faith workplace deserves some thought. The companies we work with usually either offer employees a choice between a murti and a secular alternative, or reserve murtis for client gifting where the recipient is known. It is a small courtesy that makes the gift land as intended. Our guide to gifting god idols covers the wider conventions.
