Statues & Sculptures

A well chosen statue can change the feel of a room more than most other decor pieces. At Manobhav, our statues and sculptures collection covers Hindu god idols, animal figurines, and decorative showpieces, all handcrafted using marble dust, silver plating, and semiprecious stone.

This collection brings together two main categories:

  • Deity statues, including Ganesha, Lakshmi, Hanuman, Buddha and Venkateswara, made for home temples, living rooms, and gifting
  • Animal statues, including elephants and horses, often chosen as symbols of good luck, strength, and prosperity

Each material gives a different look and feel. Marble dust statues have a smooth, sculpted finish close to carved marble. Silver plated statues bring a bright, formal shine that suits both home and festive gifting. Semiprecious stone pieces, like our kaka nili horse statues, use natural stone, so no two pieces look exactly alike.

These statues work well as a centerpiece on a living room table, a showpiece in an office, or a thoughtful gift for a housewarming, wedding, or festive occasion. Sizes range from small tabletop pieces to larger statues meant to stand out in a room.

If you are looking for handmade statues that combine Indian craftsmanship with a material and finish that suits your home, this collection is a good starting point.

Choosing the Right Statue or Sculpture

By Category

Deity Statues
This includes idols of Ganesha, Lakshmi, Hanuman, Buddha  and Venkateswara, mostly chosen for home temples, living rooms, and religious gifting. A Ganesha statue is one of the most common choices for new homes and offices, often linked with removing obstacles and bringing good beginnings.

Animal Statues
This includes elephant and horse statues, both widely used in home decor for the meanings they carry. Elephant statues are often linked with wisdom and stability, while horse statues are linked with strength and forward movement. Our kaka nili horse statues are carved from natural green stone, giving each piece its own texture and shade.

By Material

Marble Dust Statues
Made to look like carved marble, these statues have a smooth, detailed finish. They are a practical choice if you want a premium look without the weight or cost of real stone.

Silver Plated Statues
These have a metal base finished with a bright silver coating, often chosen for pooja rooms, festive gifting, and formal spaces like offices.

Semiprecious Stone Statues
Carved from natural stone, these pieces carry slight differences in colour and pattern, making each one feel handmade rather than mass produced.

By Placement

  • Living room tables and consoles work well with medium to large statues as a centerpiece
  • Home temples and pooja rooms usually suit smaller deity idols
  • Office desks and reception areas are a good fit for compact statues like a small elephant or horse figurine
  • Entrance tables are a common spot for a statue meant to be one of the first things guests notice

Common Occasions for Buying

  • Housewarming gifts for a new home
  • Wedding and anniversary gifts
  • Diwali and other festive gifting
  • Office or business launch gifts
  • Personal purchases for home temples and living spaces

Why Choose Handcrafted Statues

Handmade and hand carved statues differ from factory made ones in a few clear ways:

  • Natural materials like semiprecious stone carry variation, so each piece feels unique
  • Hand finishing allows for more detail in features like clothing, jewellery, and facial expressions
  • The weight and texture of marble dust and stone pieces tend to feel more premium compared to lighter, moulded alternatives

Care Instructions

Marble dust and semiprecious stone statues should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid water and strong cleaning liquids, since these can affect the finish over time. Silver plated statues can be cleaned the same way, and should be kept away from long periods of direct sunlight to prevent the plating from fading.
