Hand-Moving Ganesha Idol

Small Ganpati, red and gold, hand raised in blessing — and a clear case around him so he doesn't need dusting every week. That last part is why this one sells: an open idol on a shelf in an Indian city is grey within a fortnight.

The size families actually keep. Big enough to be the main idol on a small mandir, small enough for a desk, a dashboard, or a shop counter.

Use it for

• The main Ganpati on a home mandir, or a second one in the bedroom
• Car dashboard and office desk, where the case keeps it clean
• Ganesh Chaturthi — a permanent murti alongside the clay one
• Griha Pravesh, shop openings and return gifts

Good to know

• Roughly 6.5 cm tall — check the size photo before ordering
• Comes in a clear display case; keeps dust off without hiding the idol
• The raised hand moves — it is a hand-moving idol, not a fixed one
• Wipe the case with a dry cloth; don't wash the idol
