The body is smooth cream-white sandstone with a surface quality that approaches white marble — cool, dense, and luminous in natural light. The face is hand-painted with remarkable care: fine kohl-lined almond eyes, a gold tilak on the forehead, soft coral lips, and chubby-cheeked expression that is immediately recognisable and deeply endearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery gold detail is hand-applied — the elaborate sculpted mukut \/ crown with its floral rosettes, the multi-strand gold haar around the neck, the armlet bands, the heart-motif embossed matki, the gold scrollwork border on the dhoti hem, and the decorative vine border that runs along all four edges of the rectangular peetha base. A piece for the home mandir, puja room, or gifting shelf — and a Janmashtami or housewarming gift that carries genuine meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Natural sandstone with hand-painted accents\u003cbr\u003eColour: Cream-white sandstone body with antique gold crown, jewellery, dhoti border, matki detail \u0026amp; base scrollwork\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (Base): Length 13 cm | Width 10 cm\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (Figurine): Height 20 cm\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Smooth matte-to-satin sandstone with hand-painted gold and facial detail accents\u003cbr\u003eBase: Rectangular flat peetha in matching sandstone with gold scrollwork border — integrated, not removable\u003cbr\u003eSafe to use: Indoor use — suitable for home mandir, puja room, or display shelf; not food safe, not for outdoor use\u003cbr\u003eBest for: Home mandir, puja room, study, gifting, Janmashtami, Diwali, housewarming\u003cbr\u003eIn the box: 1 Laddo Gopal sandstone figurine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush — do not apply water or liquid cleaners as moisture can affect the sandstone surface and hand-painted accents. Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the gold detailing and painted facial features. Handle with care — sandstone is a natural material and the fine painted face detail is delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is this figurine made of?\u003cbr\u003eA: It is sculpted from natural sandstone — a dense, cool-to-the-touch natural material with a smooth cream-white surface quality that resembles white marble. The gold accents and the face are hand-painted by Indian artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is this suitable for a home mandir or puja room?\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — Laddo Gopal is traditionally worshipped and cared for as a form of Bal Krishna in Indian homes. This figurine is well-suited for a home mandir, puja altar, or a dedicated shelf in the puja room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is this a good Janmashtami or Diwali gift?\u003cbr\u003eA: It is one of the most meaningful gifts for both occasions — a Laddo Gopal figurine for a new home mandir makes a deeply personal Janmashtami or housewarming gift, and one that is kept and cherished rather than put away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How should I clean and care for it?\u003cbr\u003eA: Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid water or liquid cleaners on the sandstone surface. For the puja ritual, prefer dry or minimal-moisture offerings directly on the figurine's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is each piece identical?\u003cbr\u003eA: Because the face and gold details are hand-painted by artisans, there will be minor natural variations in expression and accent placement between pieces — each figurine is individually finished and carries its own character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53912424087871,"sku":null,"price":1899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/3422\/3167\/files\/LaddoGopalSandstoneFigurineheroimage.png?v=1782735098","url":"https:\/\/mapland.in\/products\/laddo-gopal-sandstone-figurine","provider":"Mapland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
