On Diwali, Ganesh ji and Laxmi ji are the centre of the home mandir. Fresh shringaar for the pair is one of the most loved parts of Lakshmi Puja preparation. Here is how to plan it without last-minute stress. Follow your own family traditions where they differ.
What to buy
- Mukut for both idols – Ganesh ji usually wears a rounder mukut, Laxmi ji a crown or chandrika. Browse mukut.
- Haar or choker – a gold-tone haar suits the festive mood. See haar and chokers.
- Nath, bindi and earrings for Laxmi ji – nath, bindi and earrings.
- Charan ornaments to complete the shringaar from head to toe – charan.
The easiest route is a matching pair from our Ganesh Laxmi shringaar range, or browse everything festive in Diwali shringaar.
Matching the pair
Choose one colour family for both idols – all gold, gold with red, or gold with green. Matching tones make the pair look like a set in photos and in the diya light. Red and gold are the most traditional choices for Lakshmi Puja.
Getting the size right
Ganesh Laxmi idols are often sold by height in inches. Measure the head of each idol across where the mukut sits, and the neck for a choker. Compare with the measurements on each product page, or WhatsApp a photo of your idols next to a ruler to +91 62677 19149 and we will suggest sizes.
Plan ahead
Order a week or two before Dhanteras so the shringaar arrives in time to try it on before the puja. Please measure carefully before ordering, as size changes are not covered by our replacement policy. Store it after Diwali in a dry box – see our jewellery care guide.
