Khan Market, New Delhi

A house of murtis,
not merchandise.


Prarthana by Popli is a house of brass and silver murtis — selected for presence, proportion, and the stories they keep. Not a catalogue of objects. A place to begin a sacred pause.

A letter from the house

Craft, kept as prayer

Every murti in this house is chosen for expression, symbolism, and the sacred stories it carries — rooted in Bharat’s artistic lineages and shaped to endure across generations.

An idol is not decoration. It is a guest in the home.

We look for character in the face, balance in the stance, and a finish that will live quietly in a home temple: tended, polished, and sat with.

Three quiet steps

How a murti is chosen


01

Expression

The face must hold a living quiet — compassion, ferocity, or grace. We refuse the blank souvenir smile.

02

Symbolism

Attributes, vahanas, and mudras kept true, so the form can be worshipped, not merely displayed.

03

Endurance

Weight, patina, and finish meant for oil, light, and decades in a mandir — an heirloom, not a season.

Before you choose

Questions, answered with care

What materials are your murtis made from?

Our collection focuses on brass and silver murtis, selected for weight, finish, and devotional presence rather than decorative novelty.

How should I care for a brass idol at home?

Dust gently, avoid harsh chemicals, and polish with a soft cloth. A light coat of natural oil can help brass retain its warmth in a home temple.

Do you ship across India?

Yes. We arrange careful packing and shipping across India. Share your city when you enquire and we will guide you on timelines and handling.
