Frequently asked questions

Is this 2-inch Annapurna idol small enough for a compact mandir?
Yes. It measures 5 cm long, 4 cm wide and 3 cm deep and weighs about 50 grams, so it sits easily on a narrow mandir shelf, a kitchen ledge or a small travel altar.

What comes in the package?
One brass Annapurna sculpture. No separate base, stand or pooja accessories are included.

What does the name Akshaya Annapurna mean?
Akshaya means inexhaustible and Annapurna means full of food, so the name describes the goddess as the giver of food that never runs out. Annapurneshwari and Annada Devi are other names for the same goddess.

Can this brass murti be used for abhishekam?
Yes. Brass can be bathed with water or milk during abhishekam; wipe it dry with a soft cloth straight afterwards to prevent water spots.
